Auburn won three more medals Friday, Feb. 22 at the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships as the men's 400-yard medley relay team won, Kyle Owens won the 100 yard backstroke, and Lindsey Norberg came in third in the 100-yard breaststroke.
"It feels pretty good," Owens said of his victory. "We've been training all year for NCAAs, and to have a swim like that at SECs feels good. It was almost half a second faster than what I won with last year. The competition is a lot faster. It feels good to win it again for a second time, and going into NCAAs, it gives me some confidence.
"This morning I was more relaxed coming home. My main focus tonight was just to drill it home. I'll have to look at my splits, but I think that was all right. I wanted to be more relaxed tonight, and I think I was able to do that."
The Florida men extended their lead to 1,038 points, while Auburn maintained second place with 821.5 points. Georgia is in third with 679 points.
The Auburn women are still in fifth place with 657 points and trail the leader, Georgia, which has 1,058 points.
