KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee swimming and diving is set to host LSU for Senior Day on Saturday at noon at Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center.
The meet is free to fans, but attendees should be aware of UT’s clear bag policy. For fans unable to attend, the meet will be livestreamed on SEC Network+, and live results will be available on MeetMobile.
The Big Orange will be recognizing 27 seniors before the competition begins on the pool deck. The official ceremony will begin at 11:25 a.m.
Last week, the No. 15 Lady Vols defeated No. 12 Georgia in Athens, 168-132. After their performances, Brooklyn Douthwright and Camille Spink won SEC weekly honors after leading UT to victory. The 11th-ranked men fell to the No. 7 Bulldogs, but Bryden Hattie was named SEC Co-Diver of the Week after earning two victories.
On Thursday of this week, the Tennessee women moved up to 12th in the CSCAA Top 25, while the Vols stayed at No. 11.
All time in dual meets, the men boast an unblemished 9-0 record against LSU. The Lady Vols hold a 5-1 record against the Tigers. The last time the two teams met in a dual meet was in 2009, when the Vols and Lady Vols swept LSU.

Senior Sendoff
More than 20 members of the Tennessee swimming and diving program will be honored during this Saturday’s senior day festivities. In total, the seniors on the squad have earned 32 All-American honors and 28 SEC medals during their time here at Tennessee.
Hattie Approaching History
After last week’s impressive performance on the boards against No. 7 Georgia which saw him earn two victories, Bryden Hattie earned SEC Diver of the Week honors for the 10th time in his career. This mark ties fellow Vol Jordan Crooks and VFL Colin Zeng for the most SEC weekly awards in school history.
Approaching SECs
After the dual meet against LSU, Tennessee turns its focus toward the SEC Championships in Auburn, Alabama, on Feb. 20-24. UT’s roster has won 78 SEC medals combined, which is the most of any current roster in the SEC. The Vols are the first team to return the reigning SEC Swimmer of the Year (Jordan Crooks) and Diver of the Year (Bryden Hattie). Tennessee also has the reigning SEC Freshman Diver of the Year, with Nick Stone returning for his sophomore season.
