That\u2019s an NCAA A cut for the team of <strong>Cadence Vincent, Jada Scott, Kailyn Winter<\/strong> and <strong>Charlotte Rosendale.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vincent led off in 21.84, improving her college best of 22.03 to move into a tie for fourth in program history. (That time came in the morning prelims of the 50 Wednesday; her best time had been 22.10.) Scott went 21.81, Winter 21.82 and Rosendale 21.75.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia was second in 1:28.01, also an A cut, with the squad of <strong>Helena Jones, Julianna Stephens, Katie Belle Sikes<\/strong> and <strong>Eboni McCarty.<\/strong> Sikes\u2019 21.73 was the quickest leg of the race. Florida was third in a B cut of 1:28.94, <strong>Bella Sims<\/strong> leading off in 22.26. <strong>Julia Heimstead, Olivia Peoples<\/strong> and <strong>Micayla Cronk<\/strong> joined her.<\/p>\n<p>LSU was fourth in 1:28.97, followed by Missouri in 1:29.13.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 200 freestyle relay<\/h4>\n<p>Reigning NCAA champion and NCAA record holder Florida took home gold in the men\u2019s race in a time of 1:15.10. <strong>Julian Smith<\/strong> (19.00), <strong>Josh Liendo<\/strong> (18.41), <strong>Alex Painter<\/strong> (18.64) and <strong>Ed Fullum-Huot<\/strong> (19.05) teamed up for the win in a largely rebuilt squad around those front two legs. It is an NCAA A cut for the Gators.<\/p>\n<p>Also just under the A standard by .04 seconds is LSU in 1:16.47. <strong>Jere Hribar\u2019s<\/strong> 18.53 is the standout there, the Croatian Olympian swimming the second leg. <strong>Andrew Garon<\/strong> led off, with <strong>Stepan Goncharov<\/strong> and <strong>Griffin Curtis<\/strong> also on the squad.<\/p>\n<p>B cuts came for Alabama (1:16.82) and Missouri (1:16.98). <strong>Charlie Hawke<\/strong> packed a 19.05 for the Crimson Tide. <strong>Darden Tate<\/strong> anchored in 18.83 for the Tigers.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 500 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Bella Sims<\/strong> was outstanding for Florida to win in 4:31.06, a statement of intent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-womens-championships-alex-walsh-swims-second-fastest-time-ever-in-200-im-at-49-20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for the reigning NCAA champ<\/a>. The sophomore was out in 1:45.81. Her slowest 100 split was 55.32 on the middle 100. Her margin of victory was more than three seconds in a final that featured five A finalists from NCAAs last year.<\/p>\n<p>Second Wednesday was Georgia\u2019s <strong>Rachel Stege<\/strong> in 4:34.27. That\u2019s 1.4 seconds shy of the best time she set at this invite last fall. Third was <strong>Abby McCulloh,<\/strong> who went 4:36.18. Both are NCAA A cuts. McCulloh was sixth and Stege seventh at NCAAs last year.<\/p>\n<p>The NCAA runner-up last spring, <strong>Emma Weyant<\/strong> of Florida, finishing fifth in 4:37.62 Wednesday. Ahead of her was <strong>Julie Brousseau<\/strong> in 4:37.19. Florida\u2019s <strong>Mabel Zavaros<\/strong> took sixth in 4:41.17, ahead of <strong>Dune Coetzee<\/strong> of Georgia.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 500 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Jake Magahey<\/strong> outdueled <strong>Charlie Hawke<\/strong> in what could be a preview of an A final battle in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>Both were just short of the NCAA A cut of 4:10.64, and Magahey\u2019s fastest time of the day was a 4:10.93 in prelims. But his finals time of 4:11.18 was enough to get past Hawke\u2019s 4:11.95. Hawke just held off the charge of Georgia\u2019s <strong>Tomas Koski,<\/strong> who finished third in 4:11.96. It was a distance back to fourth-place <strong>Jovan Lekic<\/strong> of LSU.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 200 individual medley<\/h4>\n<p>Florida went 1-2 in the IM, led by <strong>Zoe Dixon\u2019s<\/strong> time of 1:54.57. That\u2019s three tenths off the time she used to finish eighth at NCAAs last year. She was followed by teammate <strong>Lainy Kruger\u2019s<\/strong> 1:56.29. Both are B cuts, with the A cut of 1:53.66.<\/p>\n<p>Kruger was .14 up on Georgia\u2019s <strong>Ieva Maluka,<\/strong> who went 1:56.43. Teammate <strong>Olivia Dellatorre<\/strong> followed her in 1:57.46.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 200 individual medley<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Julian Smith<\/strong> notched himself a best time, his 1:41.01 quicker by .86 seconds than what he turned in at NCAAs last year. That time, in prelims, was en route to finishing 11th. He\u2019s .26 seconds shy of the A cut.<\/p>\n<p>Following him was <strong>Tommy Hagar<\/strong> of Alabama in 1:43.36. <strong>Joaquin Gonzalez Pinero<\/strong> of Florida claimed third in 1:44.76, .11 up on teammate <strong>Mason Lour.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 50 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p>Make it three best times for <strong>Cadence Vincent<\/strong> in a very eventful day of sprinting for the Alabama swimmer. After 22.03 in prelims and 21.84 to lead off the relay, the sophomore found a little more speed to win in 21.73. She\u2019s .15 off an A cut.<\/p>\n<p>The 50 was another outstanding showing from Alabama\u2019s speedsters. Second place went to LSU\u2019s <strong>Michaela de Villiers<\/strong> in 22.29 in a generally sluggish A final. That\u2019s because the second-quickest time of the night came in the B final, where <strong>Emily Jones<\/strong> of Bama went 22.22. <strong>Charlotte Rosendale,<\/strong> the anchor on the winning 200 free relay, was second in the B final in 22.39, which beat three A finalists. That means five of the top nine times at night were from Crimson Tide swimmers, with <strong>Jada Scott<\/strong> tying Georgia\u2019s <strong>Katie Belle Sikes<\/strong> for fourth in 22.35 and <strong>Kailyn Winter<\/strong> seventh (ninth overall) in 22.45.<\/p>\n<p>Between De Villiers and the Bama tide was <strong>Eboni McCarty<\/strong> of Georgia, who placed third in 22.33. Her teammate <strong>Helena Jones<\/strong> was sixth in 22.40.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 50 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p>In what may be a preview of World Short-Course Championships next month, <strong>Josh Liendo<\/strong> topped <strong>Jere Hribar<\/strong> for the win. The Canadian went 18.80, besting the Croatian by .12 seconds, the only swimmers to break 19 seconds. The A cut is 18.72.<\/p>\n<p>Third was <strong>Alex Painter<\/strong> of Florida in 19.24, followed by teammate <strong>Scotty Buff\u2019s<\/strong> 19.30, in a bid to work his way into that A 200 free relay. <strong>Ed Fullum-Huot<\/strong> tied for sixth in 19.50. Fifth went to <strong>Stepan Goncharov<\/strong> in 19.31.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 400 medley relay<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Bella Sims<\/strong> cracked a leadoff leg of 49.93 to lead Florida to a win in 3:26.27. That\u2019s a B cut and the second-fastest time in program history. <strong>Anita Bottazzo, Olivia Peoples<\/strong> and <strong>Micayla Cronk<\/strong> rounded out the quartet, with .99 seconds of reaction time still on the chopping block.<\/p>\n<p>The Gators won by more than three seconds. Alabama was second in 3:29.56, an A cut for the squad of <strong>Emily Jones, Diana Petkova, Victoria Raymond<\/strong> and <strong>Cadence Vincent.<\/strong> Vincent was the fastest anchor of the race in 47.14. Bama\u2019s B team was fourth with a quicker breaststroker (<strong>Avery Wiseman,<\/strong> 58.91) than Petkova on the A squad.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia was just under the B cut in 3:32.49 for third. LSU\u2019s would-be B cut of 3:32.85 was erased by a DQ.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 400 medley relay<\/h4>\n<p>Florida was out front again, the team of <strong>Johnny Marshall, Julian Smith, Josh Liendo<\/strong> and <strong>Alex Painter<\/strong> winning in an A cut of 3:02.95. Liendo was the fastest butterflier in 44.36. Smith was the top breaststroker in 50.57.<\/p>\n<p>LSU snuck into an A cut in 3:04.92 for second, thanks in large part to <strong>Jere Hribar<\/strong> blasting a 40.99 that was more than 1.5 seconds quicker than Painter. <strong>Stepan Goncharov, Mitch Mason<\/strong> and <strong>Pawel Uryniuk<\/strong> led that team.<\/p>\n<p>Alabama was third in a B cut 3:05.29, with Georgia also notching a B cut of 3:05.94. The fastest backstroke leg of the race, by the way, came from Missouri lead-off leg <strong>Grant Bochenski,<\/strong> who went 45.34. The Tigers were fifth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia Fall Invitational: Bella Sims Rips College-Best 4:31.06 in 500 Bella Sims\u2019 sophomore season at the University of Florida is off to a flying start.
