Tallahassee, Fla. – The No. 24/Florida State swimming and diving teams will head to Atlanta to face No. 23/NR Georgia Tech on Thursday at 11 a.m., at the McAuley Aquatic Center. The team will return to Tallahassee and welcome West Florida, Florida Southern and North Florida on Friday at the Morcom Aquatics Center.
Friday's meet will start at 2 p.m. and will serve as the annual 'Paint it Pink' meet.
Thursday's ACC contest will feature 16 events that include the 100s and 200s of each stroke in addition to the 50, 500, 1000 free and 200 IM. The 200 medley relay will start the meet and the 400 free relay will close it out. The men's meet will also be a top 25 matchup.
Men's and women's 1-meter and 3-meter diving will run simultaneously to swimming.
"We're excited to head up to Georgia Tech for tomorrow's meet," FSU head coach Neal Studd said. "They good on both sides, but it will be fun to see how we compete against another top 25 team ranked ahead of us in the men's meet. Friday is a little different and we're always excited to host our Florida teams here. It's become a tradition over the years. With that meet we will be looking at some of our newer athletes to see what they can do."
On Friday, the meet will follow a similar format, however the 200 free relay will be the last event of the day.
The Seminoles have faced Georgia Tech in six consecutive seasons. FSU holds a 40-3 record in the men's all-time series and the women are 17-2.
