Quoteables: Head Coach Anthony Nesty
"Today was our first meet of the season against a tough SEC opponent. This provided a great opportunity for coaches and athletes to gauge our strengths and weaknesses for this period.
We have a lot of work ahead of us but, I am truly proud of our teams' efforts and tenacity today. We raced tired but, with great determination. We witnessed some outstanding performances and this was extremely encouraging.
It was terrific to be at home and enjoy a good, enthusiastic crowd in the stands as well.
I do want to thank my staff and Administration for their selfless dedication to our program. It takes all of us to succeed. I am extremely appreciative of every effort.
We will continue to focus on our team goals and press forward.
Go Gators!"

"Incredible meet for us over the last two days. Everyone stepped up and performed their best. Too many highlights to mention all of them but Chunchy and Leo winning both boards definitely stands out. We knew coming in that this would be a tough meet and every point would be important. It was great to see my divers contribute in such a big way."
