INDIANAPOLIS – The Florida women began their run at the NCAA Championships in earnest this morning, competing in four individual events' prelims. While yesterday consisted of only the 800 free relay finals, the rest of the week will feature morning prelims and late afternoon finals.
500 free
Autumn Finke led off Florida for the day, placing third in the opening heat at 4:44.81. Savanna Faulconer followed up in heat 4, finishing eighth with a time of 4:46.42. Respectively, the pair placed 45th and 56th overall.
200 IM
The 200 IM featured underclassmen Sydney Sell, Hannah Burns and Kelly Fertel. Burns dropped nearly two seconds from her seed time, timing 1:58.32 to win heat 2 and rank 30th overall. Sell tied for second in the first heat, touching at 2:00.93 and tying for 57th overall. Fertel rounded out the event in heat 5, finishing fourth at 1:59.24 to place 43rd overall.
50 free
Emma Ball competed as the lone Gator in the 50 free. She touched in 23.06 to place 52nd overall and fourth in the opening heat.
"We got off to a slow start," said head coach Gregg Troy. "We're looking toward a better day tomorrow."
1-meter
Brooke Madden, native to nearby Centerville, Ind. put together a six-round score of 215.65 to finish 29th, wrapping up her first season at Florida.
"Brooke did a really good job today to cap off a great first season," said diving coach Bryan Gillooly. "Her improvement over the course of the year has been remarkable. The only thing she is missing, in my opinion, is experience, and that's what she got here today. I look for her to be able to really build on this and have a great second season and beyond. I am very proud of her."
Florida continues its appearance at the NCAA Championships tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET with 400 IM, 100 fly and 100 back prelims. 3-meter diving trials will follow at 12:15 p.m.
