ATLANTA – The Georgia Tech swimming and diving team hosted the Alumni Meet this past Friday, Oct. 3, to open up the newly-renovated Georgia Tech Aquatic Center. The Jacket alumni cruised to an 124-26 victory over the current Jackets courtesy of adjusted scoring. The Intrasquad meet, held this morning in the Aquatic Center, witnessed a close, 98-90, win for the White team over the Gold.

“It was nice to have all the alumni back and open up our new facility,” said head coach Seth Baron. “It was an exciting weekend for our current athletes and the alumni. Everybody had a great time and I thought the athletes were really excited about getting the season started with our new home in the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center.”

Pacing the alumni were recent graduates Shilo Ayalon, Josh Hersko and Jorge Oliver. Ayalon won the 200-yard freestyle event with a time of 1:42.66, while Hersko finished fifth in the 50 free (21.37). Oliver finished second in the 50 backstroke (24.26) and third in the 100 free (47.16).
