Bick<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week Sunshine State Conference rivals Nova Southeastern University, University of Tampa, and Florida Southern competed at the 2016 Spartan Invitational, hosted at the Long Center pool in Clearwater, Florida. Tampa was the big winner last year for both the men and the women, but Nova wasn\u2019t at that meet last year. This year, the Sharks came out in a big way, with their women winning the team title while the Tampa men came away as the highest placing Division II team in attendance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, Nova had some of the biggest performances of the meet, with eight individual automatic qualifying times throughout the four day competition. Those times will have a big impact on the current national rankings in addition to where teams may fall at NCAA\u2019s. Here is a short list some of those impressive swims from Nova Southeastern:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior <\/span><b>Emma Wahlstrom <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">posting A cuts in the 500 free (4:47.05), 200 free (1:46.43), and 200 backstroke (1:57.60). That 200 free just nips her best time in the event from NCAA\u2019s last year, but the 500 is a more than 7 second drop from her previous best and gives her the fastest time in the country. Her 200 backstroke time was also a 4 second drop and makes her the fastest in the country in that event. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Junior <\/span><b>Anton Lobanov<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who hit a A cuts in the 100 (52.40) and 200 (1:55.88) breaststrokes. Those are Lobanov\u2019s fastest fall semester breaststroke times, setting him up well to make a run at his D2 records in the events at the end of the year. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Junior <\/span><b>Malin Westman<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who also made an A cut in the 100 breast (1:01.75) and just cleared her best time by .04. With 5 women already under 1:02, this is shaping up to be one of the events to watch at NCAA\u2019s in March. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Junior <\/span><b>Franco Lupoli <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">making an A cut in the 500 free (4:22.81) and the 1,650 (15:20.27) His 500 was a best time by 4 seconds and makes Lupoli the second fastest in the nation this season, while the 1,650 just snuck under the A cut and makes him the fastest in the country so far this year.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other notable swims included Tampa <\/span><b>Sophie Long <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the 100 butterfly (55.48), Tampa <\/span><b>Brett Saunders <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the 400 IM (3:51.05), both school records for the Spartans. Saunders time was also an NCAA A cut in the 400 IM and moves him to fourth in the country. Florida Southern senior <\/span><b>Marco Palacios <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was also impressive in the 100 backstroke, where he posted the second fastest time so far this year (47.82). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All indications point to the Sunshine State Conference Meet being as close as ever at the end of this year. Nova Southeastern entered this meet as the favorite among the three SSC teams, with their men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams ranked #2 and #4, respectively, in the nation. Tampa is the current defending conference champions for both the men and women, and while their men came away scoring 100 more points than Nova their women\u2019s team was second to the Sharks by 84 points. All three teams will take a break from competition until January, and all three will meet each other again at the Sunshine State Conference Championships. That meet runs from February 16th through February 19th. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>UC San Diego vs. CSU East Bay (women only)<\/b><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_49609\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/shakyaucsd\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49609\" data-attachment-id=\"49609\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/division-ii-meet-recap-nova-women-make-statement-at-spartan-invite\/shakyaucsd\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ShakyaUCSD.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"6479,4321\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Kyle Staggs&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 7D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1362726743&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Kyle Staggs Photography&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"UC San Diego\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Kyle Staggs&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ShakyaUCSD-470x315.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ShakyaUCSD-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-49609\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ShakyaUCSD-470x315.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy: Kyle Staggs\" width=\"470\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ShakyaUCSD-470x315.jpg 470w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ShakyaUCSD-178x118.jpg 178w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ShakyaUCSD-184x122.jpg 184w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/ShakyaUCSD-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-49609\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Kyle Staggs<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University of California &#8211; San Diego and California State University &#8211; East Bay clashed last Friday at UC-San Diego on a rainy afternoon. UC-San Diego is the reigning Pacific Collegiate Swimming and Diving Conference (PCSC) Champions, with CSU &#8211; East bay was runner-up, and the Tritons came away with a win again on Friday, taking the meet 148-109.
