Saturday Prelims...
...Dana Kirk...

200 Back
Going in, this event looks like Florida's ticket into the big five with three girls seeded to score, two in the top 8. Texas A&M continued it's amazing momentum with Kristen Heiss (1:53.37) taking the preliminaries, while swimming right next to defending champ and second place qualifier Gemma Spofforth (Florida).  Third was Zubkova (Ind). Florida didn't disappoint though qualifying three into the top 8. It took a 1:56.32 to make it back and a 1:54.93 to come back top eight.

Carmen (SMU), Putra (UGA), and Marik (AU) drop to the bottom eight. McLane (AU), Parkhurst (Clemson), and Skelos (Penn St.) drop out of scoring position.

100 Free
Arizona need to take this event, as it is a highlight in a traditionally very tough day for the leaders. They have enough of a cushion that, barring a massive disaster, they should win easily, but with a year-long motto of "stronger on the third day" you know that they aren't just going to roll over.
Zona didn't disappoint with five swims coming back, three of which moved up from unscoring seeds, including Turner, who moved all the way into the top 8.  Auburn also struck hard as Kara Denby went the top time (47.92), the top 12 swimmers were under the old pool record. It took a 48.72 to make it back tonight and a 48.54 to qualify eighth, a tie between Kukors (AU) and King (Tenn).

400 Free Relay
Arizona is going to run this show, even though are coming in placed third everyone on deck knows that they are going to rock it. The question is, who else is going to come up big? Also, Auburn and Tennessee will use their lead off legs as a swim off between Kukors and King for 8th position in the 100 free, this should be interesting.
Arizona shocked the deck, by just making it into finals in 8th position, look for a fast swim out of lane eight tonight. A&M came up big to go in first (3:14.54).
Michelle King came up with a HUGE swim (48.30) to win the swim off, earning her a place in tonight's finals.
