We did use today as an opportunity to swim around some people in different events, which I think is good for them but at the same time, it gives us an opportunity to evaluate our team a little bit better. Like I said, I was really pleased. We had a lot of first-time event winners. We&#8217;ve had some younger swimmers in our program a year ago, or the year before, that were kind of depth-people, maybe. We&#8217;d go to meets and they wouldn&#8217;t be people winning events.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now they&#8217;re in a situation as juniors and seniors that we&#8217;re looking upon them to win events and to be leaders, and they&#8217;re doing that&#8230;I feel like from last week&#8217;s meet to today&#8217;s meet with Miami &#8211; we learned a lot. We learned a lot about our team. We learned a lot about our individuals and I definitely feel a lot better where we are now versus where we were a week ago.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Florida\u2019s 29th straight win against Miami, in the Gators\u2019 last dual meet of 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Katie Mack<\/strong> won the 100 fly in 56.53 and was second to Miller in the 200 free. <strong>Chloe Grimme<\/strong> won the 50 free in a 1-2-3 Florida sweep, with Grimme later finishing second to Schultz in the 100 free. <strong>Kenady Beil<\/strong> dominated the 200 butterfly by four seconds to win in 1:59.44.
