THE FLATS – Georgia Tech swim and dive will officially open the 2024-25 season Friday, welcoming in cross-town opponent Emory to the McAuley Aquatic Center. The meet will begin at 3 p.m. and live results can be found on the Meet Mobile app.
A season ago, Georgia Tech defeated Emory 404.5 to 192.5. In the meet, Tech won 27 of 32 events.
Originally, half the Tech squad was set to compete at the FSU Invite, but due to inclement weather, the Yellow Jackets canceled the trip and will now all compete at the dual meet vs Emory.
Tech is coming off its annual Gold vs White Intrasquad, in which team White took the meet with a score of 173 points. In the meet, four Yellow Jackets set meet records – 200 free (Zara Masud), 200 IM (Berke Saka), 200 back (Berke Saka) and 200 back (Phoebe Wright).
Tech newcomers shined in the meet, with new Yellow Jackets taking home seven event wins. Freshman Lili Gyurinovics won the 1000 free, while freshman Zara Masud took first in the 200 free and 200 fly, freshman Ela Ozdemir won the 100 free and transfer Phoebe Wright won the 100 back, 200 back and 500 free.
