Fast Facts

No. 15/12 Georgia faces off against arch-rival Florida in their annual meeting this Friday, kicking off a weekend of Bulldogs-Gators matchups in swimming and diving (Friday), football (Saturday), and soccer (Sunday).
Georgia recently concluded competition in the inaugural College Swimming League season, placing 11th overall after a third-place match finish last Friday at home. The Bulldogs were victorious in their lone dual meet of the season, sweeping No. 24/25 Texas A&M on the road.
Sophomore Kennedi Dobson earned SEC Female Swimmer of the Week honors with wins in the 500y and 200y freestyle. In the 500, Dobson led wire-to-wire and finished with a new personal-best time of 4:30.48, setting new SEC, school, and CSL records while establishing a new top time nationally. Her time bested the 4:30.70 she set at last season's SEC Championships and the conference record of 4:30.53 set by Jillian Cox in the same event. Dobson later took first in the 200y freestyle with a PB of 1:42.06, becoming the fourth-fastest performer in program history, while also placing third in the 200y IM with a season-best NCAA cut of 1:57.08.
Senior Matthew Bray was named SEC Diver of the Week after sweeping the springboards with season-best scores on 1-meter (366.15) and 3-meter (384.08). Junior Rin Drudge earned her first win of her Georgia career on 1-meter with a Zone cut of 277.05.
Junior Jacob Johnson swept both butterfly events, becoming the fourth-fastest performer in program history in the 100y butterfly. Senior Tomas Koski (200y freestyle) and Hayden Meyers (200y backstroke) also earned wins with season-best times.
Junior Marie Landreneau finished second behind Dobson in the 500y free with a PB of 4:37.27, followed by a season-best NCAA cut of 1:44.52 in the 200y freestyle. Senior Helena Jones took fourth in the 50y and 100y freestyle with season-best NCAA cuts of 22.22 and 47.91. Sophomore Elizabeth Nawrocki finished second in the 200y breaststroke with an NCAA time of 2:09.17. In the 200y backstroke, freshman Maya Schweikert placed third with a PB of 1:51.85, moving to fourth in program history, while fellow freshman Virginia Hinds took fourth with a PB of 1:52.80, good for seventh all-time.
