In the first intra-ACC dual meet of the season, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets took care of business against Pittsburgh at home. The GT women won 183.5 to 116.5, and the men took the meet by a score of 168 to 132.

Iris Wang was the star of the day for the Georgia Tech women, winning the 200 free (1:48.69), 50 free (23.15) and 100 free (50.05) before leading off the meet-ending and victorious 400 free relay for the Jackets.

Junior teammate Laura Branton won both the 200 fly (2:03.34) and 100 fly (55.34) and was also a part of the meet-opening and, again, victorious, 200 medley relay. Cami Hidalgo swept one-meter (300.90) and three-meter (301.13) diving.

For Pitt’s women, junior Amanda Richey comfortably won both the 1000 (10:05.48) and 500 free (4:57.52), and teammate Lina Rathsack swept the 100 (1:03.26) and 200 breast (2:16.19).

In the men’s meet, Georgia Tech had a quartet of double winners: Roderigo Correia in the 100 back (48.20) and 100 free (44.49), freshman Christian Ferraro in the 200 fly (1:47.14) and 100 fly (48.47), fellow freshman Caio Pumputis in the 200 breast (1:58.34) and 200 IM (1:49.11) and diver Matt Casillas on one-meter (343.50) and three-meter (305.63).

UNC’s team of Caroline Baldwin, Caroline Hauder, Emma Cole and Maddie Smith won the 200 medley relay to open the meet in 1:39.98, but that would be the team’s only relay win of the day. Baldwin added wins in the 50 (22.20) and 100 free (48.50), and Hauder, a freshman, won the 100 (1:01.57) and 200 breast (2:16.79) in her first collegiate dual meet. Maria Lohman won both diving events (294.45 on one-meter, 323.63 on three-meter).

On the men’s side, North Carolina took a win in the 50 free with James Casey touching out the Bulldogs’ Camden Murphy, 20.94 to 20.97. UNC freshman Alvin James won the 100 fly in 48.33. Sean Burston was the only double-winner for UNC, winning both diving events (376.20 on one-meter, 378.53 on three-meter).
