The Gators had five swimmers score in that event, including three sophomores who Smith will have the opportunity to train with\u00a0in his first year. In the 400 IM he would have pulled in big points for Florida, touching eighth overall. Sophomore\u00a0<strong>Alex Lebed\u00a0<\/strong>was eighth in 3:45.06.
