Both are NCAA Cuts. Van Brunt moves into second place in program history, Jones into third. Van Brunt\u2019s time trailed only the 50.06 seconds of <strong>Claire Curzan<\/strong> of Virginia in the nation entering this week.<\/p>\n<p>Third place was Florida\u2019s <strong>Grace Rabb<\/strong> in 52.07, a time that lands the freshman seventh in Gators history.<strong> Sofia Sartori<\/strong> of LSU also got under the NCAA cut in 52.42 (she was 52.25 in prelims).<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 100 butterfly<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Josh Liendo<\/strong> is the reigning NCAA champion in the men\u2019s 100 fly. <strong>Luca Urlando<\/strong> finished third.<\/p>\n<p>Expect them to be in that conversation again this year.<\/p>\n<p>Liendo takes the first battle, going 43.42, a time that is just off the 43.06 he used in the NCAA final last year. Urlando was second in 43.87. His best time was 43.49 from NCAA last year.<\/p>\n<p>Third was <strong>Michel Arkhangelskiy<\/strong> of Florida State in 44.43, followed by <strong>Ruard van Renen<\/strong> of Georgia in 44.86. The top four hit NCAA cuts.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 400 individual medley<\/h4>\n<p>Georgia\u2019s <strong>Ieva Maluka<\/strong> set a best time of 4:10.13 in prelims, then obliterated it in prelims in 4:06.20.

Dobson moved into fourth place in Bulldogs history. She led teammate <strong>Marie Landreneau<\/strong> to the wall, her teammate finished second in 1:43.47.<\/p>\n<p>Five swimmers hit the NCAA standard. <strong>Lainy Kruger<\/strong> of Florida finished third in 1:44.15. LSU\u2019s <strong>Megan Barnes<\/strong> was fourth in 1:44.39. <strong>Shea Furse<\/strong> of Georgia finished fifth in 1:44.88.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 200 freestyle<\/h4>\n<p>Georgia\u2019s <strong>Tomas Koski<\/strong> delivered another strong swim in the 200 free, holding of the charge of Florida State\u2019s <strong>Logan Robinson<\/strong> by .09 seconds.

Second was Florida State\u2019s <strong>Tommaso Baravelli<\/strong> in 51.68, and LSU\u2019s <strong>Volodymyr Lisovets<\/strong> joined him under 52 seconds. Florida\u2019s <strong>Aleksas Savickas<\/strong> booked an NCAA trip in 52.45, good for fourth place.<\/p>\n<p>The fifth-fastest time of the night came from B final winner <strong>Nil Cadevall<\/strong> in 51.61, just .03 off the NCAA standard.<\/p>\n<h4>Women\u2019s 200 free relay<\/h4>\n<p>Chalk up another strong performance for Alabama, the Crimson Tide going 1:26.90 to win by exactly one second over LSU. Bama\u2019s quartet was <strong>Cadence Vincent, Emily Jones, Jada Scott<\/strong> and <strong>Charlotte Rosendale.<\/strong> Vincent led off in 21.79.<\/p>\n<p>LSU was the only other NCAA qualifier in the field, with <strong>Michaela de Villiers, Avery Littlefield, Zoe Carlos-Broc<\/strong> and <strong>Anastasia Bako<\/strong> going 1:27.90.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia finished third in 1:28.96, .18 off the provisional standard. Florida was fourth, despite <strong>Anita Bottazzo<\/strong> going 21.89 in the second leg.<\/p>\n<h4>Men\u2019s 200 free relay<\/h4>\n<p>Florida blistered the field in the 200 free relay, the quartet of <strong>Devin Dilger, Josh Liendo, Scotty Buff<\/strong> and <strong>Alex Painter<\/strong> going 1:15.19. Liendo unleashed an 18.04 on the second leg.<\/p>\n<p>LSU added an auto cut for NCAAs in 1:15.74, with <strong>Diggory Dillingham, Jere Hribar, Stepan Goncharov<\/strong> and <strong>Simon Meubry<\/strong> setting the school record.
