This year\u2019s dual meet between Florida and Georgia was held in long course meters, to give athletes a little more racing preparation in the final months of the Olympic cycle. The meet was a runaway for the Georgia women, who posted numerous 1-2-3 finishes to win with a score of 169-129. On the men\u2019s side, a few dominating races helped Georgia win 172.5-127.5.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nGeorgia press release:<\/strong> \nThe Georgia swimming and diving teams recorded a pair of impressive early season wins on Friday as they swept Florida at the O’Connell Center.<\/p>\nThe No. 2 Bulldogs topped the No. 1 Gators 172.5-127.5, while the No. 1 Lady Bulldogs dispatched the No. 13 Lady Gators 169-129.<\/p>\nThe Bulldogs improved to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the SEC as they topped Florida for the second straight year. The Lady Bulldogs, also 2-0 and 1-0, won their ninth consecutive over Florida and improved to 24-0-1 in their last 25 overall dual meets.<\/p>\n“These were great wins for our teams,” said Harvey Humphries, Georgia’s senior associate head coach. “Florida has a tremendous program with world-class athletes and coaches, so we knew it would be a great competition. Winning both meets means a lot to us. We got off to a great start, which was the key, and the kids continued to compete hard in every event.”<\/p>\nSince this is an Olympic year, the teams chose to swim a 50-meter long course meet (as opposed to the traditional 25-yard short course college meet).<\/p>\nPace Clark, Matias Koski and Jay Litherland had two individual wins apiece to lead the Bulldogs.<\/p>\nClark won the 100-meter butterfly in 54.83 and tied for first in the 200-meter butterfly in 2:01.08 (reaching the Olympic Trials standard).<\/p>\nKoski stopped the clock in 1:51.69 and in 4:00.66 to claim the 200- and 400-meter freestyles, respectively.<\/p>\nLitherland got to the wall first in the 200-meter backstroke (sparking a 1-2-3 finish) with a time of 2:03.94 and in the 400-meter individual medley in a Trials-qualifying time of 4:25.32.<\/p>\nOther winners for the Bulldogs included Kevin Litherland in the 800-meter freestyle (8:16.34), Gunnar Bentz in the 100-meter breaststroke (1:05.86) and James Guest in the 200-meter breaststroke (2:23.14).<\/p>\nThe Bulldogs swept the relays. Taylor Dale, Guest, Clark and Michael Trice stopped the clock in 1:43.51 in the 200-meter medley relay, while Trice, Clark, Koski and Bentz won the 400-meter freestyle relay in 3:27.79.<\/p>\nHali Flickinger and Annie Zhu each won three events to pace the Lady Bulldogs.<\/p>\nFlickinger took the 200-meter freestyle in 2:01.92 (leading a 1-2-3-4 finish), the 200-meter butterfly in 2:12.26 (to spark a 1-2-3 effort) and the 200-meter backstroke in 2:11.83. Her 200 freestyle and 200 butterfly times were under the Olympic Trials standards.<\/p>\nZhu won the 100-meter breaststroke with a time of 1:12.70, the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:34.58 and the 400-yard individual medley in 4:54.38. The 200 breaststroke and 400 individual medley times met the Trials standards.<\/p>\nBrittany MacLean claimed victories in the 400-meter freestyle (4:18.70) and the 800-meter freestyle (8:44.35).<\/p>\nOlivia Ball won the 1-meter springboard with 307.35 points.<\/p>\nThe Lady Bulldogs also swept the relays. Kylie Stewart, Zhu, Courtney Weaver and Olivia Smoliga touched in 1:58.77 in the 200-meter medley relay, while Smoliga, Meaghan Raab, Flickinger and MacLean had the fastest time in the 400-meter freestyle relay at 3:50.69.<\/p>\nGeorgia’s teams will return to action Wednesday at 4 p.m. against Georgia Tech at Gabrielsen Natatorium. There is no cost for admission.<\/p>\nFlorida press release:<\/strong><\/p>\nFour members from the University of Florida men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming and diving teams swam to U.S. Olympic Trial-Qualifying times in Friday\u2019s matchup with the Georgia Bulldogs inside the Stephen C. O\u2019Connell Center in Gainesville, Florida. The Bulldogs came away with wins on both ends, but the Gators didn\u2019t go away easy — swimming to four U.S. Olympic Trial-qualifying times, 12 wins, and seven career-best performances.<\/p>\nFriday\u2019s competition opened up in the diving well where the Gators took 3-of-4 boards. Senior Kahlia Warner nearly rewrote the record books at UF with a dominating performance off the three-meter. Warner posted a career-best six-dive mark of 373.28, just missing Monica Dodson\u2019s mark of 373.85 from 2011. Warner, a Queensland, Australia, native, also posted a runner up finish off the one-meter (290.70).<\/p>\nOn the men\u2019s side, newcomer Sam Smith — who\u2019s already met his NCAA Diving Standards on all three boards — swept the one and three-meter diving events ahead of Georgia\u2019s Ian Forlini. Smith dove to a score of 345.44 off the one-meter and later took gold off the three-meter with a score of 381.30.<\/p>\nIn the pool, senior Natalie Hinds led the UF women with three individual wins and one as a member of UF\u2019s 400-meter freestyle relay victory. Hinds\u2019 individual performances came in the 50-meter freestyle (26.61), 100-meter freestyle (57.72), and 100-meter butterfly (1:02.41) while the Midland, Texas, native, teamed up with freshman Mollie Pulte, sophomore Elisavet Panti, and senior Ashlee Linn to win the 400-meter freestyle relay (3:54.09).<\/p>\nLinn also had a strong showing in the 100-meter backstroke, swimming to a first-place finish with a time of 1:03.43.<\/p>\nOn the men\u2019s side, the Gators were led by sophomore Caeleb Dressel, who swam to a pair of wins and a third place finish. Dressel\u2019s individual events opened in the 50-meter freestyle race, where he met a U.S. Olympic Trial-qualifying time of 22.73. The Green Cove Springs, Florida, native, also came through with a first-place time in the 100-meter freestyle, touching out at the 51.61 mark, edging second-place Trice Michael by 1.3 seconds.<\/p>\nOther notable wins were had by senior Corey Main in the 100-meter backstroke, where he and Jack Blyzinskyj had a 1-2 showing — and both touched the wall with U.S. Olympic Trial-qualifying time standards. Main came in first with a time of 56.90 while Blyzinskyj followed close behind (57.15).<\/p>\nFreshman Jan Switkowski gathered UF\u2019s final U.S. Olympic Trial-qualifying time in the 200-meter butterfly, swimming to a first-place time of 2:01.08.<\/p>\nFinal Men\u2019s Scores:<\/u><\/strong> \n#2 Georgia 172.5 \n#1 Florida 127.5<\/p>\nFinal Women\u2019s Scores:<\/u><\/strong> \n#2 Georgia 169 \n#13 Florida 129<\/p>\nHead Coach Gregg Troy\u2019s Thoughts: \n<\/u><\/strong>\u201cWe raced well in spots and not so well in other spots today. This was the second meet in a row where the competition was extremely good — which is what we\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\u201cWe didn\u2019t feel like we responded as well today as we had at Texas. The Georgia guys raced real well and hats off to them for an incredible job. In fact, they might even be as good of a team if not better than Texas at the moment.<\/p>\n\u201cWe were in some good races and we lost some close ones. There were a few spots in the meet where we needed to take advantage of it. There\u2019s some real bright spots out there yet.<\/p>\n\u201cWe started a new training cycle and we\u2019re right in the middle of it which is a little more aggressive than what the end of the other one was at Texas a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re going to take a look at where we\u2019re at. We\u2019re in it for the long haul \u2013 the meets that really count are in the Spring. We\u2019re comfortable where we\u2019re at but of course disappointed with a loss.<\/p>\n\u201cThere was certainly no lack of effort, we\u2019ll retune a few things moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\nHead Diving Coach Dale Schultz\u2019s Comments: \n<\/u><\/strong>\u201cThe divers did really well and we\u2019re getting better every meet.<\/p>\n\u201cKahlia Warner had a really strong meet only missing the school record by a half a point — when you consider it was 373 points, that\u2019s not very much.<\/p>\n\u201cBoth the men and women dove real well. We\u2019re trying to continue making progressions each week and set ourselves up for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n\u201cSam Smith stuck out on the men\u2019s side, he won both events and he\u2019s continuing to progress and improving on his consistency.<\/p>\n\u201cWe\u2019ll keep adding new dives for some of our divers for a few of our divers but we\u2019ll keep working on our consistency.\u201d<\/p>\nUp Next:<\/u><\/strong> \n<\/u><\/strong>Both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming and diving teams will return to action next Friday, November 6, at 2 p.m. inside the Stephen C. O\u2019Connell Center when they square off with SEC foe South Carolina. The meet will be broadcast live on SEC Network+.<\/p>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/results\/2015-florida-vs-georgia-dual-meet\/ncaa-college\/2015\/October\/30\">2015 Florida vs Georgia Dual Meet –
