YOUR INVESTMENT IN GT SWIMMING & DIVING

Greetings from campus and the McAuley Aquatics Center, which served as the site for ACC championships in February and the men’s and women’s NCAA championships in March. As the competitive season draws to a close, Georgia Tech swimming and diving had another successful year in and out of the pool. The men’s team finished 5th at the ACC’s, our highest conference finish since 2016. Berke Saka, Caio Pumputis, Christian Ferraro and Mert Kilavuz qualified for NCAA’s as individuals and Austin Daniel, Batur Unlu, Clark Wakeland and Daniel Kertesz will compete in the relays. For the fourth semester in a row, the women’s program scored the top GPA (3.46) of all teams at GT and had three NCAA qualifiers: McKenzie Campbell, Anna Bradescu and Camryn Hidalgo. Perhaps one of the most unique accomplishments this year is that three of our squad members, Nicole Williams, Kyle Barone and Cale Russell, won the campus-wide CREATE-X’s Fall I2P Showcase with their company start-up, Radiochain. I am extremely proud of how all of these young men and women represent GT day in and day out!

Donor support of GTSD makes all of this possible. Philanthropy is what placed McAuley among the nation’s top swim/dive facilities, what enables GTSD to attract the most athletically-gifted and academically-bright student-athletes in the world, and what helps us keep building momentum toward future competitive success.

Below you will see some opportunities within GTSD, with our most pressing need being to increase our current operating fund. I would like to personally thank those of you who have supported our program in the past, and encourage those who have not, to consider a gift of any size. Every dollar matters and no amount is too small.

Thanks for being a part of the GTSD community. Go Jackets!
