The Florida Gators are on top for both the men and the women after the first day of action at the season’s first collegiate invitational, the Nova Southeastern All-Florida Invite in Ft. Lauderdale.
But the meet did not start off on the right foot as the Gators failed to win either of the 200 free relays. Florida Gulf Coast’s Fanny Latham, Gracie Redding, Fanny Teijonsalo and Barbara Carabello took first in the women’s relay by more than a second in 1:34.44, and then Nova Southeastern edged the Gators in the men’s event. Thiago Sickert, Till Barthel, Victor Tarin and Malique Elder came in at 1:23.09, just ahead of Florida’s 1:23.39.
Caeleb Dressel did not compete as coach Gregg Troy typically holds his returning Olympians out of early-season competition, but highly-touted freshman Maxime Rooney made his collegiate debut as he swam the third leg for Florida, joining Bayley Main, Enzo Martinez Scarpe and Mark Szarenek.
Florida freshman Mckayla Sargent won her first college race in the women’s 500 free, edging senior teammate Autumn Finke, 4:56.99 to 4:57.38. Nova Southeastern’s Franco Lupoli touched out Florida’s Blake Manganiello to win the men’s race, 4:32.38 to 4:32.43, while Rooney was third in 4:34.56.
