Georgia Sweeps Florida State, Vanderbilt (Women) as Jack Bauerle Honored

After defeating Auburn last week, the Georgia Bulldogs returned home and took care of business against Florida State’s women and men plus the Vanderbilt women, but before racing got started, Georgia honored longtime head coach Jack Bauerle by dedicating the team’s facility as “Bauerle Pool at Gabrielsen Natatorium.” On the women’s side, Stefanie Williams Moreno’s team won 180-117 over Florida State and 219-61 over Vanderbilt, with the Seminoles also taking down Vandy (230-61). Neil Versfeld’s men’s team won 193-107 over FSU.

Abby McCulloh, Ebonia McCarty and Zoie Hartman were all double winners for the Georgia women. McCulloh swam times of 9:30.61 in the 1000 freestyle and 4:39.58 in the 500 free while McCarty topped the 50 free (22.63) and 100 backstroke (51.57). Hartman got the better of the field in both breaststroke events, the 100 (59.18) and 200 (2:09.14). In diving, Meghan Wenzel won on 3-meter (331.95) and 1-meter (305.10).

Sloan Reinstein topped the 200 free in 1:45.25, holding off fast-finishing teammates Dune Coetzee (1:45.37) and Hartman (1:45.45). Helena Jones was the winner in the 100 free in 48.43, with Millie Sansome following up with a 200 back triumph (1:56.40). Mia Abruzzo won the 400 IM in 4:17.34, and the team of Jones, McCarty, Bri Roberson and Reinstein comfortably won the 400 free relay in 3:16.24.

Florida State’s women scored a 200 medley relay win in 1:37.16 behind Sarah Evans, Maddy Huggins, Jenny Halden and Gloria Muzito. Later, Edith Jernstedt finished first in the 200 butterfly (1:56.45), and she later won the 100 fly as well (53.50), with Halden coming in just two hundredths behind and Sophie Freeman completing the 1-2-3 sweep.
