Gator Women to Compete in SMU Classic Friday and Saturday

The University of Florida women’s swimming and diving team will be competing in the SMU Classic beginning Friday, October 19 and ending Saturday, October 20 in Dallas, Texas at Perkins Natatorium.

The meet will feature six teams from six different conferences, each of which finished last season ranked in the top 25; Southern California (No. 3), Texas (No. 9), Florida (No. 10), SMU (No. 16), North Carolina (No. 19) and Louisville (No. 24).
