NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A pair of Vanderbilt swimmers are set to begin their final meet of the season when the CSCAA National Invitational Championship begins Thursday at the Florida Aquatics Swimming & Training facility in Ocala, Florida.
Emily Constable and Aubrey Hull are both slated to compete on all three days of the championship to wrap up their freshman campaigns.
“Aubrey and Emily have both had a tremendous season so far, now we get a chance to extend the season against high-level talent from across the country,” head coach Jeremy Organ said. “It’s important in that this meet gives the two the experience of competing at the SEC Championships and then having to come back and do it again at the NIC.”
In her first season as a Commodore, Constable has the top times on the team in the 100 and 200 breaststroke—including meeting the NCAA B cut in the former event—while she has also competed in the 50 and 100 freestyle along with the 200 individual medley. A native of Westfield, New Jersey, her best mark in the 100 breast set a program freshman record and ranks second on Vandy’s all-time performer list, and she is also among the top 10 in school history in the 200 breast.
Constable has won three races thus far this season, claiming the 100 breast in her collegiate debut at Tulane in September while finishing first in both the 50 and 200 breast in a January dual meet with Arkansas, and she was among the top 45 in the 100 and 200 breast at last month’s SEC Championships.
A native of Charlotte, North Carolina, Hull met the NCAA B standard in the 100 and 200 backstroke this season, leading the team in both events while also ranking third in the 100 free. The initial SEC Freshman of the Week on Oct. 1, she set program overall and freshman records in the 100 back and ranks second on Vandy’s all-time performer list in the 200 back with a mark that set the school freshman standard in the event as well.
Hull competed at the Toyota U.S. Open Championship in December, finishing as runner-up in the 100 back B Final, and was among the top 35 overall in both the 100 and 200 back in her debut performance at the SEC Championships. In all, she has won eight races so far during the 2024-25 campaign, including three times in the 50 back, twice in the 100 back and two more in the 200 back.
Preliminary heats will begin at 8:30 a.m. CT each of the three days of the meet, with finals getting underway at 5 p.m.
