The 2021 SEC Women\u2019s Swimming and Diving Championship continued with Saturday\u2019s Day 4 finals and the meet capped in historic fashion.<\/p>\n

Kentucky won its first ever SEC team championship with a combination of strong top-level point-scorers and depth that placed a multitude of swimmers in the finals.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats scored 1,124 points to hold off Florida (1,071), Georgia (999), Alabama (973) and defending champion Tennessee (934).<\/p>\n

Kentucky broke five school records and had 12 podium finishes, while the team lowered 39 personal-best times during the meet. The Wildcats had never finished higher than third, which they accomplished the past two years.<\/p>\n
