March 26, 2021 | Swimming & Diving
GREENSBORO, N.C. – With 10 All-America citations in the evening session, the University of Georgia men's swimming and diving team continued its outstanding performance at the 2021 NCAA Men's Swimming & Diving Championships Friday evening at the Greensboro Aquatic Center.
With one day of competition remaining, Georgia stands in fourth place with 198 points, trailing only Texas, California, and Florida. The Bulldogs will look Saturday to clinch only their second top-four finish in program history, following a third-place mark in 1997.
In the evening's highlight event, senior Camden Murphy placed third in the 100 butterfly with a school-record time of 44.42. Earlier in prelims, Murphy broke his previous record mark with a time of 44.69, giving him six record-breaking performances in his career. He was joined as a First Team All-American in the event by freshman Luca Urlando, who finished eighth with a time of 44.99.
Urlando and Murphy would go on to set another school record in the 200 medley relay, teaming with senior Javier Acevedo and sophomore Dillon Downing to finish seventh with a time of 1:23.07. Urlando led off with a 50 backstroke split of 21.07, helping post the second school-record 200 medley time of the season and the third relay record of this week's meet.
In the 100 backstroke, Acevedo earned First Team All-America status as he finished seventh with a time of 45.06. Sophomore Ian Grum also notched a First Team citation with a seventh-place time of 3:42.35 in the 400 IM, while junior Andrew Abruzzo earned a citation with a 15th-place time of 3:44.81. Finally, in the 200 freestyle, freshman Jake Magahey added to his All-America haul with a 12th-place time of 1:32.92 in the 200 freestyle.
The NCAA Championships conclude Saturday with the 1,650 freestyle, 200 backstroke, 100 freestyle, 200 breaststroke, 200 butterfly, platform diving, and the 400 freestyle relay. Magahey is seeded second in the mile, while Grum and Acevedo rank top-eight in the 200 back and Urlando is seeded seventh in the 200 fly.
Prelims begin at 10 a.m., followed by the first four heats of the mile at 4:10 p.m. and the full evening session at 6 p.m. All sessions will be streamed on ESPN3 and the ESPN app, with live results available on NCAA.com and to subscribers on the MeetMobile app.
