ATHENS, Ga. – The Florida State women's swimming and diving team closed out the 2024 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships on Saturday night at the Jack Bauerle Pool at the Gabrielsen Natatorium.
Maddy Huggins and Phoebe Griffith contributed personal best times and the 400 free relay turned in a season best to close the meet.
"It was a great week for us at NCAA's," FSU head coach Neal Studd said. "We had some best times. The ladies were a pleasure to coach, and they represented Florida State with passion and class."
Fresh off her scoring performance on Friday, Huggins touched with a time of 2:08.73 in the 200 breast finishing tied for 19th, just shy of the consolation final (2:08.18).
Huggins still ranks second in FSU history behind the program record set by Nina Kucheran (2:08.57) in 2021.
The Seminoles closed out the night turning in their top time of the season in the 400 free relay behind Griffiths, Maysa Ratiu, Edith Jernstedt and Gloria Muzito with a time of 3:15.99. The swim ranks fourth in school history.
Griffiths led off the relay with her best time in the 100 free, touching at 49.37.
Jernstedt also competed in prelims of the 200 fly, placing 21st with a time of 1:55.44.
Florida State finished in 38th place behind two scoring events.
The 18th-ranked men's team will compete in the NCAA Championships March 27-30 in Indianapolis.
