March 15, 2023 | Women's Swimming & Diving
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – With two relays earning All-America status, the University of Georgia women's swimming and diving team posted a strong opening statement Wednesday evening at the 2023 NCAA Women's Swimming & Diving Championships at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center.
Junior Sloane Reinstein, sophomore Duné Coetzee, and seniors Jillian Barczyk and Zoie Hartman finished eighth in the 800 freestyle relay, earning First Team accolades with a time of 6:59.12. Reinstein led off with a 200 freestyle split of 1:46.19, with Hartman surging in the anchor leg with a split of 1:42.50, helping the Bulldogs clinch the second heat.
In the 200 medley relay, Hartman and Reinstein joined sophomore Eboni McCarty and graduate Callie Dickinson to finish 13th with a season-best time of 1:36.18, the fifth-fastest mark in school history. McCarty led off the relay with a personal-best 50 backstroke split of 23.60, while Reinstein closed out with a 21.86 to earn the heat victory as the Bulldogs dropped over 30 seconds from their time at the SEC Championships.
Virginia took first in both relays Wednesday, setting an NCAA and American Record in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:31.51. The Cavaliers currently sit in first place with 80 points, followed by Texas (64) and California (56). Georgia ranks 10th heading into Thursday with 30 points.
The NCAA Championships continue Thursday with the 500 freestyle, 200 IM, 50 freestyle, 1-meter diving, and 200 freestyle relay. SEC champion Rachel Stege is seeded second in the 500 freestyle, while Hartman, a two-time top-four finisher in the 200 IM, is seeded fourth. Junior Meghan Wenzel will make her second NCAA appearance on the 1-meter after placing sixth last week at Zones in Knoxville.
Swimming prelims begin at 10 a.m., followed by diving prelims at noon and finals at 6 p.m. Live coverage of the meet will stream on ESPN+, with live results available online and to paid subscribers on the MeetMobile app.
