The Jackets will compete against eleven ranked squads from six different schools during the week according to the CSCAA Top 25 poll released this month. This marks the first competitive meet for the Tech swimming team since hosting the inaugural Dual Meet Tournament.

Georgia Tech will have 113 entries across the 42 events over the four-day meet. Sophomore Giovana Reis returns to the pool in the women’s 200-yard freestyle following her 1:45.20 race-winning time against #8 NC State at the Dual Meet Tournament. The time was a third of a second clear of Iris Wang’s benchmark set back in 2018.

All events will be available to stream on SEC Network+.
