Florida's seventh-ranked women pulled off a 165-135 upset of top-ranked Auburn while the sixth-ranked Auburn men notched an equal 165-135 win over the fourth-ranked Gators.

On the day, nine automatic and 47 provisional NCAA qualifying times were posted with an additional 29 Olympic Trial cuts established in the long course met.

“The thing we were looking for today with the women was getting their racing times up. We had great competition with a really good Auburn team,” said head coach Gregg Troy. “There were a lot of close races, but we won a lot of them. We put ourselves in a situation where we had some people step up to a whole new level. As far as the men, we are really pleased with the way they swam.”

Auburn Head coach Richard Quick was very pleased with his team's performance on Saturday, taking the win off Florida on their home turf.

"It was a really important win for our men's team," said Quick. "My theme has been to keep growing and keep improving and that happened in this meet. I think it is significant that we beat them long course because they are built for long course swimming a little bit better than we are. But, we still stepped up and got the job done, so I am real pleased where we are with the men."

For the Auburn women, even with the loss now on their record, co-head coach Dorsey Tierney-Walker said that there are a lot of positives to take from the meet.

"I think we took things for granted at the beginning of the meet and Florida really competed well today, I take my hat off to them," said Tierney-Walker. "I think we got better throughout the meet, showed some areas that we need to work on quite a bit, so all in all I think we are going to take something positive out of this."

Another positive she is taking from the meet is the performance of freshman Caitlin Geary. The Orlando, Fla. native won the 50 free, 100 free and 200 free. She earned Olympic Trial cuts in all three events, an "A" cut in the 200 free and "B" cuts in the 50 free and 100 free.

"We had some real good swims by Caitlin Geary, she got two Olympic Trial cuts that she didn't have, so we are real proud to see her get up and take care of business there," said Tierney-Walker.

The men also had a freshman step up in some crucial spots as Kohlton Norys won the 100 back, capturing a NCAA automatic cut and an Olympic Trial cut. He also picked up a "B" cut and a Trials cut in the 200 back, finishing runner-up.

"Kohlton Norys took a big step today, winning the 100 back was an awesome performance as well as qualifying for the NCAAs," said Quick. "Then he raced tough in the 200 back. Some of our other freshmen did really well for us, Adam Klein raced tough in the 200 breast, Robert Looney swam real well in the 1500 and Andrew Mitchell had a good meet. They are starting to grow up and that is what you hope for out of your freshmen."

“For the most part the men raced really tough and are as focused as they should be at the end of the season,” said Troy. “We had some veterans and some young guys step up, taking International Class athletes to the end of the race and that was huge.”
