Swimmers Battling FIU in Sprint Format

DENTON - The UNT swimmers are set to take on a familiar foe in the first of two meets in Florida over the next week, as the Mean Green will face off with a pair of American Conference foes beginning with FIU on Saturday in Miami before facing Florida Atlantic next week in Boca Raton.
The Mean Green will compete in Saturday's FIU Sprint Invite, which will feature 50-yard races in each stroke in a bracket/shootout style format, along with the 100 and 200 freestyle, 100 IM, 100 backstroke, 100 butterfly and 100 breaststroke.
"We're looking forward to our competitions in Florida to kick off the 2026 portion of the season," UNT head coach Brittany Roth said. "At FIU, our team will get a chance to test their top-end speed in a shootout format - a really fun way to race the 50s of each stroke. For our team, we race 'hand on the wall' mentality every week, and this meet will be a great opportunity to put it in motion."
