By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

Last season, as Mallory Comerford<\/strong> was blossoming into one of the best freestylers in the country at the NCAA championships, her Louisville team was on its way to finishing sixth, the highest mark in program history and the best finish of any ACC team at the meet.<\/p>\n

So does that mean the Cardinals should be the team favorites at the women\u2019s ACC championships, which begin Wednesday in Greensboro, N.C.? Absolutely not, says head coach Arthur<\/strong> Albiero<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my mind, clearly, Virginia and NC State are the favorites,\u201d Albiero said. \u201cBottom line is we\u2019re underdogs, big-time.\u201d<\/p>\n

If all you knew about Louisville was the team\u2019s dual meet record from this season, you might believe him. The women swam six dual meets this season, against Notre Dame, Michigan, Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana, and lost every single one of them.<\/p>\n

Yes, some teams are just better suited to compete in championship-meet format, but Albiero would only look in the mirror when discussing his women\u2019s performance in dual meets.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we had one meet this year where we had everybody healthy and firing at the same time,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a weird dynamic in a lot of ways. I don\u2019t want to make any excuses\u2014some of those meets, we just got beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

But this Louisville team, when ready to fire on all cylinders, is indeed a threat to capture a conference title and make a push for a top-five finish at the NCAA championships. Their star is Comerford, and her results from the past year are worth repeating: Co-NCAA champion in the 200 free, U.S. National champion in the 100 free, five-time gold medalist on relays at the FINA World Championships.<\/p>\n

Comerford has no co-star, but this year\u2019s Cardinals are \u201cone of our deeper teams,\u201d according to Albiero. Butterflyer Grace Oglesby<\/strong>, who was 15th in the 100 fly at last year’s NCAA championships, is the team’s only returning individual NCAA scorer aside from Comerford, but this year’s team is undoubtedly more balanced.<\/p>\n

Among the pieces: Sprint depth with sophomores Casey Fanz<\/strong> and Lainey Visscher<\/strong>, IMer and long course National finalist\u00a0Rachael Bradford-Feldman<\/strong>, a reliable backstroker in Alina Kendzior<\/strong>, a distance swimmer in Sophie Cattermole<\/strong> having a breakout junior season and even some breaststrokers.<\/p>\n

Freshman Mariia Astashkina<\/strong> has been the best of that bunch, but as even Albiero will admit, she\u2019s not Andrea Cottrell<\/strong>. And for a team that has been dependent on medley relay points during its rise to national prominence, losing a consistent presence in national championship finals hurts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe depth is there, but obviously Cottrell is Cottrell, right?\u201d Albiero said. \u201cWe\u2019re still making decisions, to be honest with you. There\u2019s three different possibilities, and we\u2019re trying to figure out however we can who\u2019s going to give us the best chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Louisville is no stranger to weathering big losses. That program-high sixth place finish in 2017 came immediately after the departure of Kelsi<\/strong> Worrell<\/strong>, the team\u2019s first-ever U.S. Olympian and a four-time individual NCAA champion.<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s impossible to predict exactly who will end up where at the end of any conference or national championship meet (try as we may). Albiero knows he can\u2019t control the Wolfpack, the Cavaliers or anyone else, and he admitted that his team is not pulling out all stops for the conference meet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have five or six (women) we feel pretty good about making NCAAs already,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re treating those a little bit different, so there\u2019s a lot of unknowns how those guys are going to handle it without being fully ready in this type of setting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, for all the buildup of the UVA-NC State rivalry\u2014a rivalry which only amplified<\/a> when Todd DeSorbo<\/strong> left NC State to become the head coach at Virginia\u2014Louisville could easily spoil the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan we put that together when it counts? That\u2019s the fun of it,\u201d Albiero said. \u201cIf it was easy, it would be called something different, right, but it\u2019s championship season, and that\u2019s the fun part about it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
