NCAA Div. I Women: Florida Leads After Day One of SMU Classic

DALLAS, Texas, October 24. THE University of Florida women's swimming and diving team won six of the nine events Friday in the first night of the SMU Classic.

The Gators are in first place with 181.5 points, followed by SMU (164), Indiana (130), South Carolina (122.5) and TCU (107).

Senior Sara McLarty (DeLand, Fla.) broke a meet record in the 400-yard individual medley with a time of 4:13.14. Auburn's Maggie Bowen was the previous record holder with a time of 4:13.60 at the 2001 SMU Classic. McLarty's time is also a team-best this season and is a NCAA automatic qualifying time.

South Carolina's Holly Hodges edged Florida's Nicole Bolt in the one-meter diving, 276.45 to 274.25, as both qualified for NCAAs.

Other event winners included senior Jaime Ellis (Spring, Texas), who won the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:48.22. Junior Maureen Farrell (Northridge, Calif.) won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 55.72 and sophomore Vipa Bernhardt (Bad Hersfeld, Germany) won the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:03.04.

Florida won both relay events, the 400-yard medley relay and the 800-yard freestyle relay.

Host SMU won two events. Georgina Lee, a British Olympian, took the 100 fly in 55.07 while sophomore Laura Pomeroy sprinted to victory in the 50 free in 23.69.

The Gators return to the pool Saturday morning for a dual meet against TCU in Ft. Worth, Texas before heading back to Dallas for the final night of the SMU Classic.
