The Vols and Lady Vols are coming off of an SEC win over Missouri, where Tennessee dominated a majority of the meet. The women won all 14 of their events, while the men posted the top mark in 11 out of 14.
Â
The Vols are hoping to use this weekend to showcase their top-tier talent before the 2023 SEC Championships. Sophomore and four-time SEC Swimmer of the Week Jordan Crooks took home first place in the 50 free during last year's conference championship meet and currently holds the best time nationally for that event (18.27) along with the 100 free (41.17) and 100 fly (44.79).
Â
Amidst a stellar freshman season, Gui Caribe is currently the fastest freshman in the 100 free, ranking second nationally in that event with a time of 41.44 as well as fourth overall in the 50 free (18.91). The Salvador, Brazil, native has been named SEC Freshman of the Week four times this season and recently won both freestyle sprints while competing against Missouri.
Â
In diving, Bryden Hattie has been of the best on the springboards and tower this season. He currently holds the country's best score on the platform at 450.80 and ranks within the top-10 in UT history for all three events (platform: 3rd/450.80, 1-meter: 4th/404.55, 3-meter: 9th/424.65). For the year, the four-time SEC Diver of the Week honoree has won 10 events and undefeated on platform.
Several Lady Vols also continue to prove themselves as top swimmers in the country. Irish Olympian and 2022 SEC Champion Mona McSharry currently holds national rankings in three different events. Her 58.45 in the 100 breast holds steady at eighth in the country and leads the SEC, while she also ranks 16th in the 200 breast (2:08.91) and 25th in the 50 free (22.15). During a TYR Pro Swim Series meet last weekend, McSharry swept all three breaststroke events (50 breast was the third).
Â
Josephine Fuller has followed her All-American freshman campaign with another outstanding sophomore season, ranking inside the top-15 nationally in three events. One of the top backstrokers in the country, she ranks second overall and leads the SEC in the 200 back with a 1:50.12 time. She ranks ninth in the 200 IM (1:55.54) and 13th in the 100 back (51.81). Fellow sophomore Brooklyn Douthwright has taken a big step this year, as she owns the third-fastest time in the nation and paces the SEC in the 200 free at 1:43.60.
