This season, Comerford is the top seed in the 100, 200 and 500 free, as well as the 100 fly, and she&#8217;s third in the 50 free behind North Carolina senior\u00a0<strong>Caroline Baldwin<\/strong> and Virginia senior\u00a0<strong>Caitlin Cooper<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, swimmers are limited to three individual events at any Division I championship meet, so it&#8217;s most likely Comerford will focus on the 100, 200 and 500 free. Her butterfly has come on strong over the last year &#8212; she finished third in the 100-meter fly at U.S. Nationals &#8212; but it&#8217;s unlikely that she will choose to swim that event over the 200 free, where she is the reigning NCAA co-champion with\u00a0<strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Comerford&#8217;s Louisville team is expected to battle with NC State and Virginia for the conference title. The Wolfpack were victorious at last year&#8217;s meet in Atlanta, while Virginia won the previous nine titles.<\/p>\n<p>Other swimmers to watch include Baldwin, who is the top-ranked swimmer in the country in the 50 free this season and is seeded second in the 100 free and 100 back, as well as World University Games medalist\u00a0<strong>Hannah Moore<\/strong>, a senior at NC State,\u00a0and Virginia senior\u00a0<strong>Jen Marrkand<\/strong>, who was third in the 200 fly at last year&#8217;s NCAA championships and the top seed in that event for next week.<\/p>\n<p>NC State freshman\u00a0<strong>Julia Poole\u00a0<\/strong>is the top seed in the 200 IM, and Virginia Tech&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Reka Gyorgy<\/strong> will look to defend her conference title as the top seed in the 400 IM. Others occupying No. 1 spots going into the meet include\u00a0NC State&#8217;s <strong>Elise Haan<\/strong> in the 100 back,\u00a0Florida State&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Natalie Pierce\u00a0<\/strong>in\u00a0the 100 breast, Virginia&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Emma Seiberlich<\/strong> in the 200 back, Pitt&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Lina Rathsack<\/strong> in the 200 breast and UNC&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Bryanna Cameron\u00a0<\/strong>in the 1650 free.<\/p>\n<p>All women&#8217;s and men&#8217;s diving will be contested at the meet as well, with the men&#8217;s swimming-only championships coming one week later.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/2018-acc-women-psych-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Check out the full psych sheet here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Note that the psych sheet includes swimmers over-entered in more events than they could swim at the meet and also more swimmers per team than the conference allows.
