The Gators turn their attention to improvements for next year
FULL MEET RESULTS
INDIANAPOLIS – Enduring a schedule spent primarily away from home and sporting a roster full of underclassmen, the Florida women closed their 2016-17 season Saturday night at the NCAA Women's Swimming & Diving Championships at Indianapolis' IU Natatorium.
"It's been a long week," said head coach Gregg Troy. "We certainly weren't as good as what we wanted to be point-wise, but we got a lot of experience as a really young group. I think it's going to pay off big for them in the future. We've just got to go back and reevaluate and see where we are moving forward."
The Gators closed competition today with four events' prelims in the pool.
200 back
Sydney Sell competed in heat 4, placing eighth in her heat and 37th overall at 1:54.43.
200 breast
Kelly Fertel and Savanna Faulconer both competed in heat 1. Fertel won the heat in 2:12.92, while Faulconer touched second in 2:14.13. Hannah Burns followed in heat 2, placing fourth in 2:13.47. Overall, Fertel placed 52nd, Burns 54th and Faulconer 60th, and all three improved their seed times.
200 fly
In the 200 fly, both Alyssa Yambor-Maul and Kay Sargent placed eighth in their respective heats and 37th and 48th respectively overall. Yambor-Maul, in her last collegiate race, touched in 1:58.01, while Sargent clocked a 2:01.34.
1650 free
Autumn Finke closed her Gator career swimming in one of the early mile heats. In heat 4, she placed sixth and 25th overall with a time of 16:10.08.
"They both had a lot of pride in what they did today," said Troy about seniors Yambor-Maul and Finke. "Both took it a little hard because they thought they could be a little bit better, but it's been a great four years for those two girls."
ESPNU will air a two-hour broadcast of the NCAA championships via tape delay at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 28.
FINAL TEAM STANDINGS
1. Stanford (526.5 points)
2. California (366 points)

4. Georgia (252.5 points)
