She finished seventh in the 200 breast at NCAAs, her best time again in-season at 2:06.97.<\/p>\n<p>She was on Florida relays that finished 11th in both the 200 medley and 400 medley. Her split of 25.69 in the 200 medley was third-fastest in the field, and her 400 medley split of 56.10 was quickest. (If you\u2019re comparing to Indiana\u2019s breaststrokers, <strong>Jonette Laegreid<\/strong> went 27.24 in the ninth-place 200 medley relay and 59.62 on the seventh-place 400 medley. Substituting Bottazzo\u2019s time would\u2019ve raised the Hoosiers to fifth in the 200 medley and second in the 400 medley.)<\/p>\n<p>Bottazzo won both breaststroke events at the SEC Championships, the first Gator to do that since 2006.
