Eight different ACC swimming and diving teams will be in action this weekend, but only two will be competing at\u00a0the same meet: Miami and Pitt. Among the highlights of the schedule: NC State faces off with Wisconsin, Florida State travels west to Tempe to meet the Arizona State Sun Devils and North Carolina visits geographic rival South Carolina.<\/p>\n
NC State brings one of the best combined programs in the country to Madison, and the team had no trouble last week in dispatching Duke and Penn State in its home opener, even with\u00a0Ryan Held\u00a0<\/strong>hardly participating. The Badger men should be no match for Held,\u00a0Justin Ress<\/strong>,\u00a0Andreas Vazaios\u00a0<\/strong>and co.<\/p>\n The women’s meet should feature some interesting races with\u00a0Hannah Moore\u00a0<\/strong>against\u00a0Cierra Runge<\/strong>, but once again, the Wolfpack women are the deeper squad.<\/p>\n As for the Seminoles and the Sun Devils, both teams possess stronger men’s squads than women’s, and both men’s squads are best known for freestyle prowess. But as well as\u00a0Chad Mylin<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Kanoa Kaleoaloha<\/strong>\u00a0have performed in the early going, they will have to go up against\u00a0Cameron Craig<\/strong>, the ASU sophomore who split under 42 on the 400 free relay this past weekend at the USA College Challenge.<\/p>\n As for the Tar Heels, they will make the drive four hours south to Columbia, S.C., where the Gamecock men will counter with distance aces\u00a0Fynn Minuth\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Akram Mahmoud<\/strong>. North Carolina should score big in diving, but expect a challenge to keep pace with the SC men.<\/p>\n The Tar Heel women, meanwhile, should be favored slightly, with World University Games sprinter\u00a0Caroline Baldwin<\/strong> off to a strong start in her senior year and breaststroker\u00a0Caroline Hauder\u00a0<\/strong>coming off a\u00a0strong showing in the opener against Georgia.<\/p>\n UNC has not competed since traveling to Athens for their first SEC dual meet against the Bulldogs, so their layoff will end up at almost three weeks.<\/p>\n Eight different ACC swimming and diving teams will be in action this weekend, but only two will be competing at\u00a0the same meet: Miami and Pitt.
