THE FLATS – Georgia Tech swimming & diving is set to host the 2021 Yellow Jacket Invitational this weekend at McAuley Aquatic Center. The last chance meet will give the Jackets an opportunity to get back in the water before the commencement of the 2021 Atlantic Coast Conference swimming & diving championships beginning in Greensboro next weekend.
The two day meet will have two sessions each day. Both days will start at 10 a.m. (EST) for the morning sessions, with the afternoon sessions slotted for 4:30 p.m. (EST). Heat sheets of the first preliminary round for Friday morning can be found here.
The Yellow Jacket Invite can be seen live on ACC Network Extra. Tech will be competing against Emmanuel College.
Last time out the Yellow Jacket women captured gold in all 14 swimming events against Gardner-Webb, while Tech’s men won a total of 12 events. Senior women’s diver Camryn Hidalgo also broke the platform school record at Senior Day against Miami and FSU, tallying up a score of 309.20. The Yellow Jacket men were ranked No. 22 in the most recent CSCAA National Coaches Poll, released on Wednesday afternoon by the association.
