On Sunday, the Florida men’s swimming and diving team finished without a victory for the first time this season.
The Gators finished second in a field of seven at the Ohio State Invitational in Columbus.
Ohio State held onto first place throughout the three-day meet, beating Florida by 309 points.
Junior Bradley deBorde took second place in the 100-yard freestyle on Sunday, one of his few bright spots at the invitational.
Sophomores Eduardo Solaeche-Gomez and Matt Elliott shined in the 200 breaststroke, finishing first and second, respectively, on Sunday.
Junior Marcin Cieslak and senior Sebastien Rousseau grabbed the top two spots in the 200 butterfly on Sunday.
Those performances were the extent of the Gators men’s success, as the Buckeyes’ effort proved too much for Florida to overcome during the weekend.
Ohio State won 10 of 18 races during the three-day stretch en route to its fourth consecutive invitational title.
The Gators women’s team notched its second meet victory this season, holding off second-place Stanford and third-place Ohio State.

Her win was the third individual victory for the Gators women.
Zalewski also earned a second-place finish in the 800 free relay on Saturday.
Florida will train until the final week of December before taking a short break.
