GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Florida Gators' men's & women's teams notched 72 provisional times between 36 athletes over the course of the three day Last Chance Meet. This meet was the final opportunity for the Gators to qualify for next month's NCAA Championships.

Swimmers who post an A-cut throughout the season are automatically invited to compete at the NCAAs in that specific event. If an event has an insufficient amount of A-cuts, the NCAA turns to the B-standard swimmers to fill the allotment.

"We had tremendous enthusiasm this meet," said head coach Gregg Troy. "It was a great way for some people to finish the season. We probably got somewhere better four and six more qualifiers – maybe even more than that."

"It was a good way to end the season and a great opportunity for our younger swimmers to get a basis for next year."

Broken down by student-athlete, here are the qualifying times the Gators put up during the course of the competition.
