TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida State swimming and diving team concluded the season-opening FSU Invite in winning fashion with first-place team finishes on Saturday morning at the Morcom Aquatics Center.
The Seminoles recorded 32 event victories in 44 total events at the two-day meet. The women scored 360 points to defeat Rice (255) and West Virginia (205.5), while the men totaled 365 points to finish ahead of Purdue (239), West Virginia (186.5) and Tampa (167.5).
"This was a really great day," FSU head coach Neal Studd said. "We came out and got the job done and had some really fast swims across the board. I feel like we're ahead of where we need to be, which is really exciting. The last two years this meet has been canceled because of hurricanes, so it's really great to get it in, and I think everybody had a great time and competed well."
FSU won 16 of 22 events again on Saturday morning, with a pair of 1-2-3 finishes and another two 1-2 showings. Sophomore Michel Arkhangelsky won four total events, two individual and two relays, while fellow second-year Maryn McDade added two individual victories along with a relay win.
After notching 16 wins on Friday night, Florida State carried that momentum into the second day by sweeping the first event, the 100 medley relay. The women's team behind sophomore Alice Velden, freshman Martina Fanunza, McDade and senior Kiara Caamano finished with a time of 45.52, followed by the men's team of seniors Max Wilson and Marcos Egri-Martin, Arkhangelsky and senior Sam Bork in 37.74.
McDade notched her first individual victory in the 50 butterfly in 23.98 before Arkhangelsky posted his first individual win in 20.77. Bork (20.85) was second as the Seminoles went 1-2 in the event. Both McDade and Arkangelsky returned later in the day to sweep the 100 freestyle, in 50.03 and 42.75, respectively.
After winning two individual events on Friday night in her collegiate debut, Fanunza collected her third individual victory of the weekend in the 100 breaststroke in 1:02.99 to lead a 1-2-3 FSU finish alongside fellow freshmen Avery Vassil (1:04.07) and Caroline Agee (1:04.18).
Senior Sophie Freeman recorded her first individual win of the season in the 200 butterfly in 2:00.62, while sophomore Logan Robinson secured his third win of the weekend in the 200 butterfly to complete another Seminole sweep in 1:43.83.
On the springboard, sophomore Evelyn Hall earned the win on 1-meter with 252.00 points, while the men had a 1-2-3 finish on 3-meter. Sophomore Hayden Schroeder led the way with 288.75 points, followed by junior Jack Bessire (282.95) and freshman Jack Sparks (277.25).
Velden (24.52) and senior Sarah Evans (25.42) went 1-2 in the women's 50 backstroke and Wilson (22.05) won the men's race. Agee added a victory in the 200 IM (2:02.79) for her first collegiate victory.
The Seminoles closed the meet with sweeps in the 200 freestyle relay. The women's team of McDade, Evans, Caamano, and junior Maysa Ratiu took first in 1:31.68, and the men joined them in victory in 1:17.63 with Bork, junior Gustav Olsson, Wilson, and Arkhangelsky.
FSU will head to Atlanta, Georgia next to compete in the Georgia Tech's Dual Meet Tournament on October 17-18.
