ATLANTA – On the final evening of the NCAA Championships, the 14th-ranked Florida women's swimming & diving teams collected three All-America honors.
The Gators finished the four-day meet in 13th-place, garnering 115 points over the course of the event. The 13th place finish is the highest since the 2014-15 season, when the women finished ninth overall with 129 points.
The three All-America honors came from Tylor Mathieu finishing 12th in the 1650 free, Talia Bates placing 16th in the 100 free and a seventh-place finish from the 400 free relay team of Ekaterina Nikonova, Talia Bates, Katie Mack and Micayla Cronk.
Talia Bates earned the second All-America Honorable Mention nod of the week after finishing 16th overall in the 100 free with a swim of 47.95.

Tylor Mathieu led the way in her heat of the 1650 free with a swim of 16:03.73 to finish 12th overall and first in the heat. For her efforts, she was named Honorable Mention All-American for the second time in the meet.
Elise Bauer won the second heat and finished 17th overall, just outside the cusp of Honorable Mention All-American status, touching the wall in 16:06.48. Leah DeGeorge followed Bauer with a time of 16:17.07 to finish 28th in the event, while Anna Auld placed 33rd overall with a time of 16:20.09.

Cronk finished with the fastest time on the anchor leg, recording a 47.57 split to lead the Gators. Bates finished with a split of 47.66, while Mack swam a 47.79 in the third leg. Nikonova led off the relay with a 48.05 split in the last event of the championships.
