JACKSONVILLE - North Florida swimming is kicking off its season with a home meet against FGCU at Bolles on Saturday at 1 p.m. Prior to the start of the meet, the program will honor its four seniors in Hannah Cordes, Camryn Greenleaf, Sydney Groth and Sarah Joram.

*Of note: Fans are not allowed at Bolles Uible Pool.*

LAST SEASON RECAP

• North Florida finished in fifth place at the conference championship, escaping sixth by eight points. 
  The Ospreys recorded season fastest time in 16 events at the CCSA Championship. In addition, 12 times went into the top 10 times in program history.
• North Florida's 400 free relay team was just shy of breaking the school record set in 2012-13. In the leadoff spot, Camryn Greenleaf had a personal-best 51.49 split and now has the third best time in Osprey history.
• Julianna Graf made an appearance at the National Invitational Championship before the meet was called due to COVID-19.
• UNF has seven newcomers including six freshmen on its squad.

COFFEY TALK
"Finally we get to swim our first meet of the season. This team has kept their spirits up and are eager to compete against another team. We will also celebrate our seniors prior to the first race so it is always special. FGCU is a very fast team and usually one of the top contenders in the conference. We expect good racing throughout the meet and I am excited to see what our team can do." - head coach Ian Coffey

SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
The Eagles finished last season with an 8-8-1 mark in dual meets and a 4-1-0 record against conference opponents and hosted Georgia Southern, FIU and Miami in the fall. FGCU returns a majority of last year's team which placed second at the 2020 CCSA Championship. CCSA Swimmer of the Year Petra Halmai is coming off of one of the program's most successful individual seasons in its 14-year history, as she was named a CSCAA First Team All-American after posting the nation's 10th-fastest time in the 200 Breast. Wiktoria Czarnecka and Julia Rodriguez round out the gold-medalist group, having taken home the 50 Free and the 100 Fly, respectively. 


AGAINST THE EAGLES
FGCU is undefeated against the ospreys, winning all 13 match ups. The Eagles came to Bolles last in October 2019, grabbing a 185-76 win.
