FSU sports information:
The No. 24/RV Florida State swimming and diving team broke two school records to open the weekend at the Georgia Tech Invitational on Friday in Atlanta.
Freshman Logan Robinson set the FSU record in the 200 yard butterfly and the women’s 400 medley relay posted the best time in program history as a total of nine top-10 times in the record books were achieved on Friday. The Seminoles notched nine top-three finishes, with three victories, and a number of NCAA standard marks were attained.
The three-day meet at Georgia Tech’s McAuley Aquatic Center features six top-25 teams. Competition will continue Saturday and conclude on Sunday, with prelims at 10 a.m. ET and finals at 5 p.m. Along with No. 19 Georgia Tech, FSU is taking to the pool against No. 11/17 Michigan and No. 15/18 Auburn.
“This was just an amazing day for us,” FSU coach Neal Studd said. “School records, NCAA qualifiers and a relay A cut, this was just everything you would want from a day one. I am really proud of how we competed and I’m excited for the rest of the weekend.”
Robinson swam the 200 butterfly in 1:41.50 to break a nine-year old school record in the event. An NCAA B qualifying time, the first-year Seminole topped the previous FSU record of 1:41.66, set by Connor Knight in 2015.
The day ended with a record-setting win in the 400 medley relay. Freshman Alice Velden and seniors Maddy Huggins, Edith Jernstedt and Gloria Muzito finished in 3:31.68, an NCAA B mark. The foursome won the event by 0.07 seconds and sit atop the record books by nearly 0.30 seconds. They bested the previous record of 3:31.96, set in 2022 by a team that included Jernstedt.
The men’s 400 medley relay also posted a win to finish the first day of competition with an NCAA A qualifying time. Juniors Max Wilson and Tommaso Baravelli, Robinson and fifth-year Yordan Yanchev finished in 3:04.69, victorious by 0.83 seconds. The time is No. 3 in the Florida State record books and just the fourth ever to be faster than 3:05.00. Wilson and Baravelli were part of the relay squad that set the school record a season ago.
Junior Sam Bork won the 50 freestyle final, just before the 400 medley relays, to help the Seminoles post three consecutive wins to conclude the day. Bork’s NCAA B time of 19.18 is No. 4 all-time and the fastest since 2019. The victory came after he entered FSU’s top-10 list at No. 10 in the morning’s prelims with a time of 19.33.
Florida State placed first and second in the women’s 1-meter diving competition. Graduate student Samantha Vear picked up the win with a score of 325.95 in the finals, and redshirt junior Kayleigh Clark was the runner-up with a finals mark of 307.65.
Huggins moved up in the record books twice in the 200 individual medley. She placed second in the finals in 1:56.76, the second-fastest time in program history. The senior began the day at No. 6 and moved up to No. 5 in the prelims before her NCAA B mark in the final put her at No. 2 all-time and second in the race. Jernstedt (1:58.25) also picked up an NCAA B time in the prelims in the event.
The finals got underway with a pair of third-place finishes for the Seminoles in the 200 freestyle relay. The men posted an NCAA B time of 1:16.66, which is fifth-fastest in school history courtesy of Bork, fifth-year Mason Herbert, Wilson and senior Jokubas Keblys. The women touched the wall in 1:29.13, which ranks No. 4 in the record books and the fastest since 2020 thanks to freshman Maryn McDade, grad student Jenny Halden, Jernstedt and Muzito.
Yanchev added a third-place finish in the 500 freestyle final in 4:17.15, an NCAA B time.
Muzito and freshman Mathias Christensen added their names to the record books individually on Friday. Muzito swam the fourth-fastest 50 freestyle in 22.36, an NCAA B time, as she entered the top-10 list with FSU’s best time since 2016 in the event. Christensen entered the day at No. 9 in the 200 individual medley, moved up to ninth in the prelims and posted an NCAA B time of 1:44.19 in the finals to finish the day at No. 6 all-time.
