GT men will go undefeated with relative ease (until ACCs) with this schedule. The team is very dangerous in dual meets with Pumputis and Ferraro returning.

42.7/1:32/4:16 freestyler in Unlu
51.3/1:50 BR & 1:41.0 IMer in Pumputis
45.3/1:40 flyer in Ferraro
45.3 back/46.0 fly in Barone
15:02 LCM miler in FR Kilavuz
54.9/1:57.3 LCM backstroker in FR Saka.

While their depth drops off pretty hard after their top guys (which is why they won’t place high as a team at ACCs), they are a force in a dual meet setting due to top level talent.
