Knoxville, Tenn. – Florida State swimmer Edith Jernstedt closed the 2022-23 season by earning an All-America honor in the 200 fly at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships on Saturday at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center. Jernstedt finished 13th in the race, touching with a time of 1:55.15, producing the highest finish in the race at NCAAs since Chelsea Britt finished eighth at the 2015 meet. She is the fifth Seminole in history to earn an All-America honor in the 200 fly. “It was a great day to finish off a very special season with these amazing ladies,” FSU head coach Neal Studd said. “I love the progress we made this year and I’m so excited for the future.” Jernstedt qualified for her first NCAA final in 12th place after clocking her personal best at 1:54.64, inching her closer to Britt’s FSU record (1:53.68). Her swim at finals was the second-fastest of her career. In prelims, Maddy Huggins led the way for the Noles in the 200 breast, touching with a time of 2:10.9
