North Carolina, Florida State Duking it Out at ACC Women’s Championships

COLLEGE PARK, Maryland, February 16. THROUGH two days of competition at the Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Championships at the University of Maryland, North Carolina is clinging to a slim lead over Florida State. The Tar Heels have 198 points to the 196.5 of the Seminoles. Virginia is also in the mix with 191 points and Virginia Tech has 174 points.

Clemson’s Kim Routh kicked off the evening with a victory in the 500 freestyle, as she covered the 20-lap race in 4:44.77, ahead of the 4:46.30 of North Carolina’s Whitney Sprague and the 4:46.57 of Virginia’s Rachael Burke. An event later, Virginia Tech’s Sara Smith prevailed in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:00.71. Maryland’s Sasha Malanina placed second (2:01.54).

Florida State had a strong showing in the 50 freestyle. The Seminoles locked up the top two slots as Christie Raleigh (22.75) and Carrie Ellis (22.81) each posted A qualifying standards for the NCAA Championships. Virginia Tech’s Mason Walsh was the only other swimmer under 23 seconds, touching in 22.82.

Florida State also sizzled in the 200 freestyle relay. The Seminoles, fueled by the quartet of Ellis, Abbie King, Lauren Sparg and Raleigh, won the event in 1:31.54. Virginia Tech was second with a swim of 1:32.42.
