The Florida men's swimming & diving teams defeated Auburn, 158-142. Meanwhile, the UF women beat the Tiger, 152-148 on Saturday in Auburn, Ala.
The Gator men were led by their sprinters, as they swept all three sprint events with freshman Caeleb Dressel winning the 50-yard (19.61) and 100-yard (43.88) freestyle events and junior Pawel Werner taking home first place honors in the 200-yard freestyle (1:36.25).
UF's women were led by junior Jessica Thielmann, as she won the 200-yard, 500-yard and 1,000-yard freestyle events in 1:48.79, 4:47.24 and 9:43.17, respectively. On the boards, Thielmann's classmate Kahlia Warner won the one-meter (322.13) and three-meter (322.58) dives notching her eighth and ninth individual victories of the season.
Overall, the Gators captured 21 first-place finishes through 32 events and registered multiple NCAA 'B' provisional marks throughout the meet.
UF's men now sport a 5-1 (3-1 SEC) dual meet record, while the Gator women are a solid 5-2 (4-2 SEC).
Florida returns home next weekend to finish off its regular season against Tennessee in the O'Connell Center Natatorium on Jan 31 at 11 a.m. In addition to that meet being senior day, it will be Florida's final meet before the SEC Championships (Feb. 17-21).
Indoor Track and Field: A pair of world and NCAA leading 4x4 relay marks capped a remarkable afternoon of competition for the No. 1 Gators on the final day of the Rod McCravy Memorial Invitational at Nutter Field House in Lexington, Ky.
Robin Reynolds, Destinee Gause, Kyra Jefferson and Claudia Francis crushed the Florida indoor 4x4 record in a NCAA and world-leading 3:29.58, notching the 12th-fastest all-conditions indoor time and just the 14th sub-3:30 mark in collegiate history in the process. The quartet's performance was a preview for the men's race, as Najee Glass, Hugh Graham, Jr., Nick Uruburu and Gino Hall followed in suit with a 3:04.22 NCAA and world leading performance themselves in the night cap.
While the relays provided the final excitement of the evening, a staggering 20+ personal-best performances for UF athletes highlighted the second and final day of competition, including a win for senior Marquis Dendy (16.06m/52-8.25) in the triple jump, followed by a runner-up finish from freshman KeAndre Bates (15.85m/52-0), and domination in the women's 800m from Francis (2:06.96) before her anchor leg in the 4x4.
The Gators will look to carry the momentum into the Razorback Invitational Jan. 30-31 in Fayetteville.
Women's tennis: The No. 2-ranked Florida women made their 2015 debut in winning fashion, with a 4-0 sweep of Elon on opening day of the ITA Kick-Off Weekend at the Alfred A. Ring Tennis Complex.
Florida will face Maryland in the championship match at 2 p.m. today on the front courts for a chance to secure a berth at the ITA National Indoors event next month.
Men's tennis: Florida had opportunities to clinch, but could not capitalize when it truly needed a win, as the Gators fell to Ole Miss, 4-3, on day one of the ITA Kick-Off Weekend at the Alfred A. Ring Tennis Complex.
The Gators return to action today in the consolation match vs. Stanford at 9 a.m. on the back courts. The championship match between Ole Miss and South Carolina will be played at 11 a.m.
Soccer: Spring action started Saturday for the Gators with an exhibition match against FC Bayern Munich at the James G. Pressly Stadium.
Four different players scored to give FC Bayern a 4-0 win.
Florida head coach Becky Burleigh liked what she saw from the Gators against FC Bayern, which is second in the Frauen Bundesliga standings.
"What a tremendous opportunity," Burleigh said. "It is kind of a once-in-a-lifetime thing to get to play a team this good and ranked so high in the Bundesliga. I think it was a great experience for our team. Some of these players we'll cheer for in the World Cup this summer."
Women's basketball: The Gators (9-10, 1-5 SEC) enjoyed a much needed midweek bye and return to the court to play host to Arkansas (11-7, 1-5 SEC) today in the O'Connell Center, where ESPNU will televise the game live with tip-off scheduled for noon.
