ATHENS, Ga. – The No. 19/24 Florida State swimming and diving teams opened competition at the Georgia Invite on Thursday at the Gabrielsen Natatorium. “I thought we had a good first day,” FSU head coach Neal Studd said. “We had season and career-best swims across the board. We were much better at night, so tomorrow we’ll look to adjust and get it done in the morning.” Peter Varjasi paced the 19th-ranked Noles, swimming in five races. Varjasi won silver in the 200 IM behind a four-second drop, touching at 1:43.17 (NCAA B), which was under the 2022 NCAA invited time. Varjasi qualified third for the final at 1:44.80 in prelims. His swim was the second fastest in FSU history behind Pavel Sankovich’s school record (1:41.92) which was set back in 2014. Varjasi started the night by leading off the 200 free relay, splitting 19.43 and helping FSU finish sixth with a team of Mason Herbet, Blake Moran, and Ian Cooper at 1:17.84.
