ATHENS, Ga. – The No. 16/NR Florida State swimming and diving team opened the Georgia Invite with a pair of school records and a victory in the men's 800 freestyle relay on Tuesday.
FSU totaled four top-10 times in school history to begin the four-day meet that featured four top-20 teams.
Sophomore Michel Arkhangelsky, juniors Andrew Rich and Gustav Olsson and sophomore Logan Robinson combined to win the 800 freestyle relay, setting a program record with a time of 6:10.65. It also is an NCAA qualifying mark.
Arkhangelsky also set a school record in the 200 freestyle while leading off the relay in 1:32.71.
"It was just an amazing first night for us," FSU head coach Neal Studd said. "Everybody across the board was excited and had great energy. Obviously, qualifying relays to NCAAs this early in the season is awesome. We had some amazing swims across the board, the milers did great, some incredible relay splits, and I'm just excited about an amazing start. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do as we get through this meet."
The four-day meet at Georgia's Gabrielsen Natatorium includes five programs, four of them being top-20 opponents: host-No. 8/18 Georgia, No. 14/16 Alabama, No. 4/7 Florida, Georgia Tech and No. 13/11 LSU.
In the women's 200 medley relay, sophomore Alice Velden, senior Julia Mansson and sophomores Maryn McDade and Mary Leigh Hardman posted a time of 1:36.41 to place fourth, recording the seventh-fastest performance in school history.
Florida State added another standout 200 medley relay performance on the men's side, as seniors Max Wilson, Tommaso Baravelli and Sam Bork and Arkhangelsky finished second in 1:22.23. The time also is an NCAA qualifier and the second-fastest in program history.
