The middle of the week is now upon us which means there are only a few more days until the Florida Gators take to the field against the Vanderbilt Commodores as the college football season persists despite the many challenges the COVID-19 pandemic have posed.

While Kyle Trask and company have been cruising along since his season was interrupted by a coronavirus outbreak on the team, UF has other sports also partaking in fall competition. Let us take a look at what is on tap around the Gator Nation.

Both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will compete in the Auburn Fall Invitational from Nov. 18-20 at the James E. Martin Aquatics Center. The third-ranked men are looking to bounce back from their season-opening dual meet loss to the Georgia Bulldogs, while the tenth-ranked women look to continue their winning ways after earning their first victory of the season on Nov. 5 over in-state rival Miami. The event concludes the swimming portion of the schedule for both squads.
