ATHENS, Ga. – The University of Georgia swimming and diving teams conclude their fall campaigns this weekend with the Georgia Fall Invitational, running Thursday, Nov. 16 through Sunday, Nov. 19 at Gabrielsen Natatorium.
No. 9/13 Georgia will be joined by an impressive slate of teams, including No. 3/7 Florida, No. 10/18 Auburn, No. 18/14 Michigan, No. 23/NR Georgia Tech, No. 24/NR Florida State, and the Wisconsin diving team. For the visiting teams, it will be a first look at the competition pool that will host the NCAA Women's Swimming & Diving Championships in March.
For Thursday through Saturday, there will be a prelims session at 9:30 a.m., followed by a finals session at 5:30 p.m. On Sunday, there will be a long-course session at 10 a.m. Admission to Gabrielsen Natatorium is free for all spectators. All short course sessions will stream live on SEC Network+, with live results available on GeorgiaDogs.com and to paid subscribers on the MeetMobile app.
The Georgia women are looking to finish off a strong fall that has produced five dual meet victories, including an upset victory over No. 4 NC State earlier this month. The Bulldogs' distance group has been its top strength, with four swimmers already earning B-cuts in the 500y freestyle and juniors Duné Coetzee and Rachel Stege posting top-10 times in the 1,000y freestyle. Senior Zoie Hartman has remained a dominant presence in the breaststroke and IM events, while freshman Helena Jones has emerged as a top performer in the sprint events. At the diving well, senior Meghan Wenzel has already qualified for Zones on both springboards and has earned four individual wins in dual competition.
On the men's side, Georgia nearly pulled off an upset of its own at No. 4 NC State, remaining in contention until the final relay. Senior Jake Magahey has been the team's leader throughout the season, posting top-10 national times in the 1,000y freestyle and 200y butterfly. Fifth-year Ian Grum has also notched B-cuts in three events, while sophomore transfer Ruard van Renen has turned in two top-10 program times in the 100y backstroke, including a dual-meet record time of 45.19 at NC State. In diving, all four Bulldogs have qualified for Zones on both springboards, highlighted by a strong freshman year for Matthew Bray.
