THE FLATS – Georgia Tech swimming and diving competed against Northwestern and Miami on Saturday. The men’s team lost 224-116 against Northwestern. The women lost 196-176 against Northwestern and 263-115 against Miami.
It was a busy week for the Yellow Jackets as they come off finals and graduation day on campus with some of the squad away at either Short Course Worlds or their national short course championships.
Diving saw great success at the pool with Camryn Hidalgo taking first in both the 1-meter (302.85) and 3-meter events (334.05). Anna Bradescu took home a finish from every spot on the podium finishing first on platform (279.00), second on the 3-meter board (294.30) and third on the 1-meter board (253.73).
“I think I performed more consistently this meet,” Bradescu said. “Some of my dives were better and that showed in my scores.”
On top of the slew of podium finishes, three more zone qualifying scores were obtained by Carmen Woodruff, Kelsey Dekshenieks and Ruben Lechuga on the platform. They scored 257.78, 261.15 and 323.70, respectively.
The pool took on a skins format for the first half of the meet. Kyle Barone took home first in the 50 back skins final round and Christian Ferraro took home first in the 50 fly skins final round.
McKenzie Campbell was the first to touch in the 150 fly, Clark Wakeland secured first in the 400 free and Barone came in first in the 75 back.
This is the final meet of the calendar year for the Jackets. The next meet comes at Auburn followed by a return to home against Queens University.
