SEC Swimming and Diving Championships<\/em><\/p>\n

Auburn, Alabama 2020<\/em><\/p>\n

The third night of the 2020 SEC Swimming and Diving Championships from Auburn, Alabama featured the finals of the 400 IM, 100 butterfly and 200 freestyle.<\/p>\n

An NCAA record watch was in effect tonight with\u00a0Erika Brown\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Kieran Smith\u00a0<\/strong>set to swim their respective events. Ultimately, no NCAA records fell but Brown did get under the American record in the 100 butterfly as she moved to third all-time in the event.<\/p>\n

Smith won the 400 IM for his second title of the meet but fell short of the NCAA record. He might end up choosing the 200 free for NCAAs but he will be a favorite in both events in five weeks come nationals.<\/p>\n

The Florida Gators built a huge lead on Thursday night as the men got two wins from Smith and\u00a0Khader Baqlah<\/strong> on the night. They lead by over 100 points over Texas A&M.<\/p>\n

The Tennessee women also extended their lead as they got wins from Brown and\u00a0Tess Cieplucha\u00a0<\/strong>(400 IM) as they search for their first ever SEC team title.<\/p>\n

Georgia’s\u00a0Veronica Burchill\u00a0<\/strong>(200 free) and Missouri’s\u00a0Danny Kovac\u00a0<\/strong>(100 fly) also won titles on night three.<\/p>\n

The Florida Gators went 1-2-3 in the 400 IM final as they swept the podium and jumped Texas A&M in the team standings on Thursday night at the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships. Sophomore\u00a0Kieran Smith\u00a0<\/strong>won his second event of the week with a 3:37.31 as he broke\u00a0Chase Kalisz’s\u00a0<\/strong>pool record set in 2015. Senior Grant Sanders\u00a0<\/strong>(3:40.20) and sophomore\u00a0Bobby Finke\u00a0<\/strong>(3:41.56) swept the podium for the second straight year as Finke won it last year followed by Smith and Sanders.<\/p>\n
The time for Smith is the fastest in the country as he is 24 hours removed from his American record<\/a> last night.<\/p>\n
The Gators had five total swimmers in the A-Final as sophomore\u00a0Miguel Cancel\u00a0<\/strong>(3:44.32) and freshman\u00a0Kevin Vargas\u00a0<\/strong>(3:44.73) finished in fifth and sixth place respectively, nearly completing a full sweep.<\/p>\n
