ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 14-ranked University of Michigan women's swimming and diving team will travel south to Athens, Ga., for the Georgia Invitational at Gabrielsen Natatorium on the campus of the University of Georgia. The three-day meet will start on Thursday (Nov. 16) with preliminaries at 9:30 a.m. and finals at 5:30 p.m.

• Kathryn Ackerman leads the Maize and Blue in the IM, posting times of 2:03.34 and 4:16.16 and the 200 and 400-yard IM, respectively, at the Wisconsin Tri-Meet. Ackerman's 400-yard IM time reached the "B" standard.
• In diving, Kiarra Milligan swept the one-meter and three-meter events at the Wisconsin Tri-Meet, posting scores of 289.35 and 286.28, respectively.
