ATHENS, Ga. – Following a historic performance against Tennessee last Saturday, University of Georgia redshirt senior Luca Urlando was named Southeastern Conference Men's Swimmer of the Week Tuesday afternoon, as announced by the league office. Urlando helped lead No. 7 Georgia to a 155-144 road victory at No. 8 Tennessee, winning three events in impressive fashion. In the 200-yard butterfly, the Sacramento native set a new American, NCAA, U.S. Open, SEC, and Georgia school record in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 1:37.17, breaking the previous record of 1:37.35 set by Texas' Jack Conger at the 2017 NCAA Championships, the longest-running men's American Record (excluding the 1,000y freestyle). Later in the meet, Urlando broke his own school record in the 100y butterfly with a school record time of 43.62, besting the previous top mark of 43.80 he set at the 2022 NCAAs. He also took first in the 200y IM with a winning time of 1:41.86 and helped the 200y medley relay post a season-best time of 1:24.00, the 10th-fastest mark in program history. With Tuesday's honor, Urlando has now been named SEC Swimmer of the Week five times during his Georgia career.

ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia sophomore Aysegul Mert's wealth of talent was on full display Sunday during the top-ranked Bulldogs' shutout win over Princeton inside the Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Tennis Facility. They've been on display since she came to Georgia from Istanbul, Turkey, particularly on the doubles court, where Mert and Dasha Vidmanova a native of Ukraine, won the NCAA doubles national championship last spring.bSo far in 2025, Mert and Vidmanova are looking once again like a force at No. 1 doubles for the Bulldogs, and Mert is proving to be even more dangerous in singles, too. Mert went 19-7 in singles as a freshman, including 9-1 dual matches, with a 7-0 record at No. 5 singles and 2-1 at No. 4. Through three dual matches this spring, Mert is 3-0 at the No. 3 spot. Up next for the Bulldogs is a home match Saturday against No. 9 North Carolina. The match will be held in the indoor facility as both teams prepare for the ITA Indoor Team Championships next month.
