GAINESVILLE, Fla.- The University of Florida men's and women's swimming & diving teams combined for sixteen student-athletes named to the Southeastern Conference First-Year Academic Honor Roll, which was announced on Tuesday by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey.

Each team collected eight First-Year Academic Honor Roll accolades, including men's diver Santiago Morales, who finished as one of five student-athletes to earn a 4.0 grade point average in their first academic year.

The sixteen First-Year Academic Honor Roll nominees brings the program's grand total number to 55 honorees after 23 women and sixteen men were tabbed to the SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll.
