jaredm2012 0 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Both men and women are currently in first place after the first day of the SEC championships. My link GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The Auburn swimming and diving team stands in first after day one of the swimming portion Wednesday at the 2011 SEC Swimming and Diving Championships held at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center on the campus of the University of Florida.The Auburn men are first with 201 points and the Auburn women hold first with 166 points after adding the diving scores from last week. The Tennessee men are in a close second with 199.5 points, while the Florida women are in second with 153 points. "Overall, it was a solid team performance," head coach Brett Hawke said. "Some of the details got away from us tonight and it's something we have to focus on for the rest of the week. This is a tough conference and a tough meet." The Auburn women started the championships with a bang as the 200 medley relay team of Emily Bos, Lauren Norberg, Olivia Scott and Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace captured the conference title in the event. The quartet notched a SEC and school-record time of 1:36.11, automatically qualifying the group for the NCAA championship. "This was the highlight of the night for the team," Hawke said. "It was an outstanding performance by those women and it's nice to know all four will be back next year." The Auburn men opened with a second-place finish in the 200 medley relay. The team of seniors Jared White, Adam Klein, Adam Brown and Kohlton Norys swam a NCAA "A" cut time of 1:25.52. The evening concluded with the 800 free relay and the men's squad of Kyle Owens, Zane Grothe, Karl Krug and Norys finished third in a season-best time of 6:21.79. That mark is also a NCAA "B" cut time. The women's team of Micah Martindale, Caitlin Geary, Becca Jones and Katie Gardocki finished fourth in the event in a season-best and "B" time of 7:04.68. Thursday opens with the preliminary session at 10 a.m. from the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. The morning starts with the 500 free and follows with the 200 IM, 50 free and 200 free relay. Live results and live streaming are available at www.gatorzone.com. GatorZone is supposedly streaming the events and should have updates when they become available.

Mikey 16,640 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 After day 2: "The Florida women ended the day in first place with 291 points over second-place Auburn (286), while the second-place Gator men trail the first-place Tigers, 378-308." Not a very good writeup, but the complete results are there for any interested AU swimming freaks. Link: http://www.gatorzone.com/story.php?game_id=9850 Looks like the men are in good shape. The women aren't as bad off as it may seem, there are two full days of competition left. There are few things as much fun to track on then 'net as swimming meet results. You can check at noon, see who did what in the prelims and cross fingers for the finals. Try it, you'll like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Actually looks like the lady dogs have the 286 pts and 2d place while AU is 3d w/ 272. That IS a lot to make up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,640 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 We didn't have a good day today. It will all come down to tomorrow's finals. Team scores after today's events: Men Auburn 574 Florida 547 Tennessee 443 Georgia 347 Women Georgia 515 Florida 463 Auburn 425 Tennessee 314 LSU 295 The women can close a 90 point gap in one day, I've seen it done before but it will take a lot of exceptional performances. If Florida does as well tomorrow as they did today, they will pass the Auburn men. They trailed by 70 points last night and they've cut that to 27. Get a wiggle on, guys!

Mikey 16,640 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 The Auburn men won their 15th consecutive SEC championship, beating Florida out by a narrow 17 points. That's incredibly close in a swimming meet. The Auburn women finished third behind Georgia and Florida. On to the NCAA's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autigeremt 6,652 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 What a run! I think we have a very good shot at bringing back the NCAA Title for the men, and you never know how much the ladies have left in the tank....I've seen us rebound on that side of the docket and win the NCAA's after losing the SEC. We'll see. WAR EAGLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,640 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 On the women's side, the SEC is usually tougher to win than the NCAA's. Depth plays a bigger part at nationals and in the case of past Auburn championships, Auburn has had superior depth. I don't know if we have enough this year to win in that fashion. Along with Georgia and Florida, Arizona will be very strong again. But... lets go get 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
