Fast Facts

Georgia finished fourth in its opening College Swimming League match against Virginia, NC State, and Alabama. The Bulldogs earned one point in the overall CSL standings, with their second match coming at home on Oct. 23.
Saturday's meet against Texas A&M marks the full debut for the 2026-27 Georgia swimming and diving teams. This is the Bulldogs' first trip to Bryan-College Station since the 2023 SEC Championships and first dual meet at A&M since January 2016.
Georgia's diving team returns letterwinners Matthew Bray and Michelle Cummo, along with NCAA qualifier Renato Calderaro, who missed last season due to injury. Along with sophomore Leah McCarthy, who also missed last season, the Bulldogs welcome transfers Rin Drudge, Omar Elsayed, and Ruth Anne McCranie. Elsayed was last year's Big West Conference Diver of the Year at Grand Canyon, while Drudge (Alabama) and McCranie (Purdue) were NCAA Zone Championships qualifiers.
Senior Tomas Koski earned Georgia's lone victory of CSL Match 2 with a first-place time of 4:12.85 in the 500y freestyle, earning an NCAA cut, setting a CSL individual record, and earning jackpot points for the Bulldogs. Sophomore Sean Green finished third with an NCAA cut of 4:14.49. Koski later finished second in the 200y freestyle with a time of 1:33.57 and anchored the fifth-place 200y freestyle relay (1:19.61), earning SEC Men's Swimmer of the Week honors.
Junior Marie Landreneau powered the Bulldog women with three top three finishes on the evening. In the 500y freestyle, Landreneau used a 26.8 split on her final 50 yards to place second with an NCAA time of 4:40.16. She also finished second in the 200y freestyle with an NCAA time of 1:45.14 and took third in the 200y IM with a time of 1:58.73.
In the opening event, a pair of Georgia freshmen women immediately rewrote the school record books in their first collegiate races. Maya Schweikert finished fifth with an NCAA time of 1:52.99, becoming the fourth-fastest performer in program history. Fellow rookie Virginia Hinds placed sixth with a personal-best NCAA cut of 1:53.07, moving to seventh in program history. Schweikert and Hinds also finished fourth and fifth respectively in the 100y backstroke.
Sophomore Elizabeth Nawrocki also improved her standing in the record book with a third-place NCAA PB of 2:08.21 in the 200y breaststroke, moving to sixth all-time.
Junior Jacob Johnson, making his debut after transferring from Minnesota in the offseason, became the eighth-fastest 100y butterflier in program history with a fourth-place time of 46.12. Johnson also took second in the 200y butterfly with an NCAA time of 1:42.35.
