ATHENS, Ga. – Maddy Huggins and Samantha Vear took home second-team All-America accolades on Friday for the Florida State women's swimming and diving team at the 2024 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.
Huggins finished 15th in the 100 breast at 59.29, while Vear also placed 15th on 3-meter, scoring 265.25.
Huggins captures the 12th All-America honor in program history in the event and first to score since Ida Hulkko in 2019 (58.58).
Vear brings home FSU's fifth All-America honor on 3-meter, tying Molly Carlson in 2019 with the second-highest finish in the event at NCAA's in program history.
"It was a great day for us," FSU head coach Neal Studd said. "Having two All-Americans is fantastic and we're proud of both of them. We're excited to have a good last day tomorrow."
Huggins qualified 14th out of prelims, touching at 59.19, just off her best (58.76).
Vear finished prelims by scoring 54 points in both the fifth and sixth round to claim 12th place at 297.95, advancing to her second career NCAA consolation final.
"I am very proud of Sammy," FSU head diving coach John Proctor said. "I loved every moment of getting to work with her for four years and I am going to miss her. She's worked hard and I'm proud of the career she's had and I am glad she ended the season on a high note."
Edith Jernstedt swam a personal best in the 100 fly, touching at 52.23 for 39th place behind Jenny Halden in 36th (52.10). Jernstedt remains the sixth-fastest in program history.
The Seminoles competed in the 400 medley relay behind the team of Sarah Evans, Huggins, Halden and Gloria Muzito, touching 20th at 3:32.98.
Evans contributed her personal best, leading off with a split of 52.96 in the 100 back. Her time now ranks sixth in Florida State history.
Jernstedt will compete in the 200 fly and Huggins will swim the 200 breast on Saturday, starting at 10 a.m. The top 16 will advance to finals, starting at 6 p.m. FSU will close out the meet by swimming the 400 free relay.
All sessions will stream through ESPN+ and more updates and results can be found through the NCAA Championship site.
