By Sharon Robb


BUDAPEST, Hungary, October 30, 2020–South Florida Aquatic Club’s Alia Atkinson of the London Roar won two events in the International Swimming League’s fifth match of the pro season Friday at Duna Arena.

Atkinson, 31, a four-time Jamaican Olympian, won the 50-meter breaststroke in 29.22. It was her 12th victory in the event that dates back to 2016.

Atkinson was also a member of the winning 4×100-meter medley that won in 3:47.85. Her breaststroke split was 1:04.42.

In other swims, Tom Shields of LA Current won the 100-meter butterfly in 48.94 and is 3-for-3 in the event; Ryan Murphy of LA Current won the 200-meter backstroke in 1:48.03; and Brit Adam Peaty of the London Roar won the 50-meter breaststroke in 26.10.

Georgia Sweeps Florida In Season-Opener; SOFLO’s Kathleen Golding Has Four Top Four Finishes


By Sharon Robb


ATHENS, Ga., October 30, 2020—Georgia knocked off Florida in both teams’ season-opener Friday at Gabrielsen Natatorium.

The Gators women’s team, ranked No. 10 in the nation, dropped a 184-116 decision to No. 4 Georgia.

It was Florida’s first competition after a 252-day break because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

South Florida Aquatic Club’s Kathleen Golding had a pair of third-place finishes in individual events.

The sophomore had the third fastest time in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:49.82 and 200-yard individual medley in 2:02.18. She was also fourth in the 100-yard freestyle in 50.73 and anchored the Gators’ second place 400-yard freestyle relay that finished in 3:24.50.

“I am very proud of how our women competed this morning,” said women’s coach Jeff Poppell. “With 12 newcomers, it’s a different team from last year and one that we’re learning more and more about each day.

“Having the opportunity to compete against Georgia in the first meet of the season serves as a great barometer as to where we are presently and the significant amount of work that still needs to be done between now and the championship portion of our season.”

The women’s team will next swim University of Miami on Nov. 5 at Ann Marie Rogers Swimming and Diving Pool. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, the public will not be allowed to attend the meet. After UM, it will be the Toyota US Open in Sarasota, Nov. 12-14; Auburn Invitational, Nov. 18-20; and Miami Diving Invitational on Dec. 2-4.

Georgia men’s team, ranked No. 8 in the nation, knocked off No. 3 Florida, 164.5-134.5.

The Gators won five men’s individual events and Robert Finke, Trey Freeman and Kieran Smith turned in the nation’s fastest times in their events.

Finke, a junior, won the 400-yard individual medley in 3:50.33.

Freeman, coming off a last season’s injury, won the 200-yard freestyle in 1:36.10.

Smith, the 2020 SEC Male Swimmer of the Year, won the 100-yard freestyle in 43.35.

Freshman diver Leonardo Garcia won his UF debut in the 3-meter springboard with 399.83 points and was second on 1-meter with 321.60 points.

“I am pleased with our efforts today against Georgia,” UF men’s coach Anthony Nesty said. “We obviously have areas we need to improve in, however, the men performed well at this time in the season. This unprecedented time has certainly been a life lesson in resilience and our men have embraced that challenge.

“Despite the many challenges before us all, we will continue to press forward, committed to our team goals. Our work is not done. We have quite a way to go down this path.”

Florida will next compete in the 2020 Toyota US Open on Nov. 12-14 in Sarasota. Because of COVID-19, USA Swimming has scattered the event across nine regional sites. Instead of 800 swimmers in one location, each site will host around 200 athletes.

A few days later, UF will compete in the Auburn Fall Invite on Nov. 18-20 and end the year with the Miami Diving Invitational on Dec. 2-4 in Coral Gables.

University of Florida Announces 2020-21 Schedule; Gators Open Season Friday At Georgia


By Sharon Robb


GAINESVILLE, October 28, 2020—The University of Florida opens the swimming and diving season Friday against the Georgia Bulldogs at Gabrielsen Natatorium in Athens, Ga.

Because of COVID-19 strict SEC Medical Guidance Task Force requirements, the men’s and women’s dual meet sessions will be split by gender to allow social distancing.

No spectators will be allowed inside the natatorium. The meet, however, will be live streamed on the SEC Network.

The women’s team will race at 10 a.m. and men’s competition will follow at 2 p.m.

“We love having our fans at our meets and the energy they bring, but we also love being able to compete at the highest level,” said Bulldogs head coach Jack Bauerle. “The most important matter at this time is ensuring the safest possible environment for competition. We look forward to welcoming our fans back in the near future.”

The Southeastern Conference announced in September that all competition would be restricted to regionalized opponents in a dual meet format.

South Florida Aquatic Club’s Kathleen Golding is a sophomore on the women’s team. During the 2019-2020 regular season the 2016 Olympic Trials qualifier won six individual events and was a member of four relay victories as a freshman.

At the NCAA Championships, she earned first career All-American honors in the 400 individual medley and qualified for the NCAA Championships in the event. Overall, the All-American was named to the SEC All-Freshman team; CSCAA Scholar All-American first team and SEC First Year Academic Honor Roll.

The regular season runs through Jan. 25, 2021.

The remaining UF schedule is:
Nov. 5, Miami (women only), Gainesville
Nov. 12-14, U.S. Open, Sarasota
Nov. 18-20, Auburn Invitational
Dec. 2-4, Miami (diving only), Coral Gables
