Auburn's swimming and diving team is looking to uphold the deep tradition of No.1 rankings and championships at the 2015 SEC Championships at the James E. Aquatics Center this week. The Tigers looked like they could do just that at times Tuesday, Feb. 17, but conference rivals didn't make it easy for their hosts. After day one of the five-day meet, Auburn's men are in first place with 177 points and the women's team is tied for eighth with Alabama at 105 points. Junior Justin Youtsey, senior Fraser McKean and freshman Pete Turnham started out the competition with the 1-meter springboard. Although the Tigers didn't have an individual score in the top five, the divers finished with the most team points through the first event with 69. Youtsey recorded a season-best score of 329.85, good enough for sixth place. McKean and Turnham finished close behind the junior in seventh and eighth. "We started off with diving and it really set us up for the day," said coach Brett Hawke. "Getting three up on the men's side was huge. It just gives the team confidence starting a meet already knowing you're in the lead. Those guys did an outstanding job." Junior Jillian Vitarius, sophomore Natasha Lloyd, senior Megan Fonteno and sophomore Allyx Purcell finished third in the women's 200 medley, only .59 seconds off the school record, while the men's team finished fourth in the same event. Freshman Hugo Morris led the way for Auburn's men in the 800 freestyle relay as he broke the school record in the 200 free with a leadoff split of 1:33.39. Anchored by sophomore Joe Patching, the Tigers finished second behind Florida, who broke the SEC record in the event, touching in at 6:12.85.The top four teams finished with the fastest times in the nation and the top six teams were automatic NCAA qualifying times in the event. "To come back and see Rowdy Gaines' record go down in the 200 free after all these years was great, especially since it happened on Rowdy's birthday," Hawke said. "It was an outstanding performance by those four guys in the 800 free relay, especially Hugo Morris." Auburn's women finished 11th in their 800 medley relay and the final event of the evening as Georgia took the crown with a time of 6:55.69, the fastest time in the nation this year. "We were strong in the 200 medley relay, but we are a little conservative in some of our change overs which cost us," Hawke said.
Auburn is hosting the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships at the James E. Martin Aquatics Center for the first time in six years Feb. 17-21. It will be a closely contested competition, as the Tigers face the best teams in the conference to move on to national championships. "The SEC is very deep in swimming this year," said head coach Brett Hawke. "I think it is the deepest conference in the country. A lot of quality athletes. There is going to be some really fast swimming this week." On the men's side, Auburn has won 16 straight conference championships from 1997-2012. Hawke said the Tigers want to uphold the history of the program and compete as hard as they can for every athlete that has ever come through Auburn. Two-time All-American Joe Patching will lead the charge for the men this year. The sophomore holds the sixth-fastest time in the 200 backstroke and 200 individual medley, and eighth-fastest time in the 100 back in Auburn history. "He is one of those guys you can put in any race and know that you're going to get a great effort and is going to compete all the way to the finish," Hawke said. The biggest threat for Auburn's men are No.1 Florida, who won the SEC championships in 2013 and 2014, and No. 8 Georgia, who placed third last year. Georgia's women, coming off five straight wins, are the defending champions and ranked No. 1 going into the 2015 conference championships. Besides the Bulldogs, Auburn's women expect close competition from No. 4 Texas A&M and No. 7 Florida. Hawke said sophomore Allyx Purcell is the best swimmer for the women going into the championships. The Australian native is a two-time All-American. "You can put her in any relay situation and she is going to perform really well," Hawke said. "Individually she is right up there with the best sprinters in the country." Hawke said the Tigers feel comfortable competing in their home pool, but hosting the competition can bring added pressure to the team. "It helps that we've had a lot of practice off the blocks and through the turns," Hawke said. "If the athletes can get in and out of their walls a little bit better than their competition than that is definitely and advantage for us. I think it can add pressure because the athletes feel like they have to perform even better because it is their home pool." Hawke said he expects both Auburn squads will be relaxed when the competition starts Tuesday, Feb. 17, and ready for a hard fought battle. "I think if we can put our best effort out, we're going to be there right at the end," Hawke said. "I'll be happy with their best effort and if at the end of the day that is good enough to win, I'll be happy with that."
