“We are looking forward to seeing what we can do this weekend!” FSU coach Neal Studd said. “Our athletes look ready to get some postseason cuts, and I am really excited.”

FSU travels to Atlanta ranked No. 24 in the latest men’s CSCAA Coaches Poll. The men have appeared in every poll this season. The women are receiving votes and are one spot out of the top-25.

All four men’s teams at the Georgia Tech Invitational are in the top-25, with Auburn at No. 15, Michigan 17th and Georgia Tech at No. 19. In the women’s poll, Michigan is No. 11 and Auburn is 18th.

The Seminoles are coming off their first road meet of the season against No. 13/19 LSU and No. 20/RV Alabama on November 8 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Freshman Logan Robinson won the 200 butterfly and entered the record books with the third-fastest time in team history. He was one of four Seminoles to post a victory, along with graduate student Samantha Vear, junior Tommaso Baravelli and fellow freshman Mathias Christensen.

Robinson also notched a runner-up finish, while Christensen and Vear's days also included third-place showings. Christensen joined Robinson with top-10 times in school history, at No. 9 in the 200 breaststroke. A complete recap from Alabama can be found here.

Following the defeats to Alabama and LSU, the women are 3-3 on the season and the men are 0-4.
