SEC Championship Win-Streak
The Gators are looking for their third-consecutive SEC title sweep after becoming the first conference program to win back-to-back titles since Auburn's 2007 and 2008 run. Florida previously won three-straight titles from 1990-92, when the program claimed both titles for four-consecutive years from in 1990-93. The most recent three-peat came from Auburn when the men and women took home both titles from 2003-05.
The men are in pursuit of their 13th-straight conference championship and are one of two programs in the history of the SEC to garner 12 straight titles (Florida - 13 from 1955-1968; Auburn - 16 from 1996-2012). The men have won a total of 45 SEC Championships, which is the second-most by any SEC team across all sports (Kentucky MBK - 49).
The women are in pursuit of their third-straight conference title after earning the program's 19th SEC Championship in school history and their first back-to-back championship title since 1996-97. Florida's 19 SEC titles leads the way on the women's side, with Georgia following with 12. The women tallied 25 top-ten times and shattered eight school records to finish with program-best score of 1,391.5 at last year's SEC Championships.
Head coach Anthony Nesty is searching for his seventh-straight men's title, and third women's title at the helm for Florida. Last season, he took home both the Men's and the Women's SEC Coach of the Year to become not only the first Gators coach but also the first coach in the SEC to win both Swimming Coach of the Year award two years in a row.
