Come out, dominate start to finish and handle your business.&#8217; I thought the women absolutely did that.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Tigers started strong with a 1-2-3 sweep in the 400 medley relay. Junior <strong>Sonnele Oeztuerk<\/strong>, the first leg of that relay, also picked up individual wins in the 100 back and 500 free.<\/p>\n<p>Other two-race winners for Auburn included senior <strong>Julie Meynen<\/strong> who won both the 100 and 200 free and junior <strong>Jaden Bellina<\/strong> who took first in the 200 fly and the 200 IM. For Bellina, it was the second and third races she&#8217;s won this season.<\/p>\n<p>On the men&#8217;s side, it was a much tighter matchup, but the Tigers still found a way to prevail with a 166-134 victory that included seven swimming wins and two diving wins.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just like last week, the men stepped up and performed well,&#8221; Taylor said. &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t say it was a crisp meet. I wouldn&#8217;t say it was an easy meet. But we found a way to win on a day when everything didn&#8217;t just happen for us and it didn&#8217;t come easy. It was an ugly win, but it&#8217;s important to find ways to win ugly and scratch and claw until the end of the meet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was important. This is a meet that if we performed this way last year, I don&#8217;t think we win. We found a way to get it done today, so I&#8217;m proud of our men.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomas Heinzel<\/strong> (100 free), <strong>Santiago Grassi<\/strong> (100 fly), <strong>Lleyton Smith<\/strong> (100 back), and <strong>Spencer Rowe<\/strong> (100 breast) were among the individual winners for Auburn. Sophomore <strong>Brogan Davis<\/strong> also earned a huge win in the 200 IM with a season-best time of 1:50.76.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIVING RECAP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was a clean sweep for Auburn in the four diving events Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Senior Alison Maillard led the women with wins in both the 1-meter and 3-meter competitions. Maillard narrowly missed her personal best with 347.55 points on 3-meter, and then she was steady once again with 310.50 points on 1-meter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A really strong performance,&#8221; head diving coach Jeff Shaffer said. &#8220;She did one of her best ever two-and-a-half pikes to finish that list on 3-meter, so that was really encouraging. She also hit both of her backs and gainers, which is a step in the right direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the men&#8217;s side, sophomore Conner Pruitt earned two victories with 372.90 points in the 1-meter competition and 382.20 points in the 3-meter competition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Conner was pretty solid on both springboards,&#8221; Shaffer said. &#8220;He could&#8217;ve been a little sharper on some of his finishes but pleased with the overall performance. He competed against a really good freshman at Georgia Tech. That was good to be pushed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Georgia Tech Press Release<\/h3>\n<p>Despite seven gold medals and 22 in the top 2, Georgia Tech swimming and diving was unable to down nationally ranked Auburn on Saturday morning at the McAuley Aquatic Center.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m super proud of the way we competed today,\u201d head coach <strong>Courtney Shealy Hart<\/strong> said. \u201cI think we\u2019re better than we were a year ago, which is great. Our freshmen stepped up in a big way, which is always fun to see. From this point forward it\u2019s about sharpening up the little things as we go into championship season.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Caio Pumputis<\/strong> and <strong>Christian Ferraro<\/strong> led the way for the Yellow Jackets, recording two first-place finishes apiece on the day.
