KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Swim & Dive are back in action after a short break in the season. Swim hosts Kentucky in its final dual of the fall season, while the divers are in action at the 2025 USA Diving Winter Nationals.
The week begins on Thursday, as the Vols and Lady Vols welcome the Wildcats to the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center. This marks the second consecutive season the two programs have met in the final meet of the fall calendar. The dual is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
Admission for the dual is free, with doors opening one hour before competition begins. The clear bag policy is in effect throughout the weekend for all fans. Parking will be available in Lot SC40 off Kingston Pike near Tyson Park. Live stats will be available on Meet Mobil, with the dual also streamed on SEC Network+.
The Vols entered the dual after collecting a second place finish as part of the CSCAA Power Four Dual Meet Challenge. The Vols earned a pair of wins over the Michigan Wolverines, but came up just short of taking the win in a loss to Arizona State. The Lady Vols finished in third place in the dual meet challenge, defeating the Sun Devils on the final day of the meet.
On the diving side, Tennessee heads to Midland, Texas for the USA Diving Winter Nationals. Competing for Tennessee will be Desharne Bent-Ashmeil (1m & 3m), Thomas Ciprick (1m & 3m), Bennett Greene (1m & 3m), Lynae Shorter (1m & 3m), Nick Stone (1m & 3m), and Owen Redfearn (3m & Platform).
Greene swept the competition at the UT Diving Invite, winning the 1-meter, 3-meter and Platform competitions. Greene moved his way up the top ten lists in program history, moving to sixth in the 1-meter (410.25), sixth in the platform (378.80), and ninth in the 3-meter (427.65). Shorter took home the win in the 3-meter competition, while also moving her way into the program record books. Shorter finished the 3-meter with a score of 343.90, which sits as the sixth-best score in program history.
