ATLANTA, GA. – Georgia Southern Swimming and Diving delivered its fastest times of the season on Thursday in the opening day of the Georgia Tech Fall Invitational. The meet is the stiffest competition of the season thus far for the Eagles with five opponents from the SEC.

"Today was a great first day," said Head Coach Laura Thomas. "All of our swims were season bests and we had several lifetime best times. It's tough because we are competing with big SEC and ACC schools but we are racing well and holding our own against them."
