“Florida’s women kept it close at the start, and our women got together and reorganized and were able to win everything down the stretch,” said Harvey Humphries, Georgia’s Senior Associate Head Coach. “It was good to see how they reacted positively to a little adversity at the beginning of the meet. Our men raced Florida pretty closely. It was a well-contested meet. No one likes to lose, but we were proud of our guys for racing and showing up against one of the best teams in the country. No one backed down and they raced hard all the way through the meet. All in all, it was a pretty good day for Georgia.”
