She\u2019s already got the first two legs of the treble done, and she\u2019s coming off a quiet Friday in which she only had to anchor the 400 medley relay, splitting 46.32 for the runner-up Vols.<\/p>\n<p>The action from Saturday\u2019s session at the University of Georgia\u2019s Bauerle Pool at Gabrielsen Natatorium.<\/p>\n<p>The final session of SECs Saturday night will include the men\u2019s and women\u2019s 1,650 free, men\u2019s platform diving finals and conclude with the 400 freestyle relays.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/sec-swimming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC Swimming News<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.secsports.com\/championships\/swimming-and-diving-championships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC Championships Hub<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sidearmstats.com\/ugeorgia\/swimming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC Championships Live Results<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sec-championships-camyla-monroy-opens-with-1-meter-title\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC Swimming Night 1 Recap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sec-championships-day-2-tennessee-florida-scare-mens-ncaa-records-texas-lowers-800-free-relay-american-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC Swimming Night 2 Recap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sec-championships-day-3-prelims-texas-distance-depth-a-little-sluggish-in-500\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC Swimming Day 3 Prelims Recap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sec-championships-night-3-finals-tennessee-sets-ncaa-record-in-mens-200-free-relay-at-112-80\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC Swimming Night 3 Finals Recap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sec-championships-day-4-prelims-josh-liendo-sets-meet-record-43-70-in-100-fly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC Swimming Day 4 Prelims Recap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sec-championships-day-4-finals-emma-weyant-completes-400-im-three-peat\/\">SEC Swimming Night 4 Finals Recap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sec-championships-day-5-prelims-emma-sticklen-luca-urlando-set-pace-in-200-flys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC Swimming Day 5 Prelims Recap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sec-championships-day-5-finals-luca-urlando-emma-sticklen-both-within-01-of-his-200-fly-ncaa-marks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEC Swimming Night 5 Finals Recap<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Heading into the final day of competition, Texas is in the lead of both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s team races.
