ATLANTA – Seven Seminoles will represent the No. 13 Florida State swimming and diving team at the 2026 Division I Men's Swimming and Diving Championships from March 25-28 at McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
Sophomore Logan Robinson will compete across all four days in both individual and relay events. Senior Max Wilson and sophomore Michel Arkhangelsky also will race individually, while seniors Tommaso Baravelli and Utku Kurtdere and juniors Andrew Rich and Gustav Olsson will compete on Florida State's five relay teams. Sophomore Carlos Vargas will represent the Seminoles in diving, competing on platform.
"I'm really excited for the men," FSU head coach Neal Studd said. "They have worked so hard to get here and now have a real shot for a top-10 finish. We can't wait to get started."
Several Seminoles return to the NCAA stage with championship experience in their events. In 2024, Wilson and Baravelli were part of Florida State's 400 medley relay that placed 12th. In 2025, Arkhangelsky and Baravelli helped the team to a seventh-place finish in the 200 medley relay, while Arkhangelsky also posted top-16 finishes in the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke. Robinson added an 11th-place finish in the 200 breaststroke, and Wilson placed 15th in the 100 backstroke.
Prelims will begin each day at 10 a.m. ET. The top eight finishers in every event will advance to finals and will determine places 1-8. Athletes who finish 9-16 will not compete in a B final, their final placement and point totals will be determined based on their preliminary times. Relays are timed finals and will be split between the morning prelims and evening finals. Diving prelims begin at 12:30 p.m. ET each day, with the top eight finishers advancing to finals.
All sessions will be streamed live on ESPN+. Live results can be found at Meet Mobile and online here, and additional championships info is available here. Direct links and live updates can be found by following and connecting with the Seminoles on Twitter/X, Instagram and Facebook.
The Noles will open the week with a 200-medley relay swim on Wednesday.
