The Week That Was sponsored by Suitmate.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Week That Was featured a Florida-Auburn meet, Ariarne Titmus and other Australians skipping World Championships, the NCAA ruling on their transgender policy, a pair of Hokie pool records, and a NAG tied that was set in 1978.<\/p>\n

Florida completed its dual meet slate with a pair of comfortable wins over the Auburn Tigers on Saturday. Florida\u2019s men, led by U.S. Olympic medalists\u00a0Kieran Smith<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Bobby Finke<\/strong>, cruised to a 201-99 triumph, while Florida\u2019s women won 184-116.<\/p>\n

Against Auburn, Smith recorded a swift time of 1:32.96 to win the 200 free, the top time in any dual meet so far this season and the seventh-fastest mark all year. Smith also won the 500 free in 4:18.16, almost 12 seconds off\u00a0his own American record<\/a>. Meanwhile, Finke finished a surprising second-place in the 1000 free behind teammate\u00a0Trey Freeman<\/strong>, 8:55.93 to 8:56.58. Finke flipped six tenths behind Freeman with 50 yards to go, and while he tried to accelerate and storm past Freeman, just as he did to the best swimmers in the world in two Olympic finals last year, but Freeman also shifted gears and finished with a 23.64 split to hold Finke at bay.<\/p>\n

The Week That Was #2: Ariarne Titmus and Other Australians Skipping World Championships Would Hurt Swimming<\/h3>\n

In July,\u00a0Ariarne Titmus<\/strong>\u00a0came out on top of perhaps the most anticipated swimming races of the Tokyo Olympics when\u00a0she out-dueled\u00a0Katie Ledecky<\/strong>\u00a0for gold in the women\u2019s 400 freestyle<\/a>, swimming the second-fastest time in history in the process.\u00a0She doubled down on golds two days later when she topped the podium in the 200 free<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But when the world\u2019s best gather again at this spring\u2019s World Championships<\/a> in Fukuoka, Japan, Titmus\u00a0may not be in attendance<\/a>. And plenty of other top Australian swimmers, including double backstroke gold medalist\u00a0Kaylee McKeown<\/strong>\u00a0and sprint stars\u00a0Kyle Chalmers<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Cate<\/strong>\u00a0Campbell<\/strong>, may also skip Worlds. The purpose would be to focus on the Commonwealth Games, scheduled for two months later in Birmingham, England.<\/p>\n

Following a Board of Governors meeting Wednesday, the NCAA has announced changes to its policies regarding transgender athletes participating in women\u2019s sports, and those changes could impact the ability of Penn\u2019s\u00a0Lia Thomas<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to compete in this season\u2019s NCAA Championships. While trans females were previously allowed to compete in women\u2019s events after undergoing one year of hormone-suppression therapy, the new policy will bring U.S. collegiate sports in line with national and international governing bodies and with the international Olympic movement.<\/p>\n

The No. 13 ranked Va Tech men scored a 196.5-103.5 win, while the women coasted to a 213-83 victory.<\/p>\n
