I Women: North Carolina Leads ACC Champs After Day One, with Florida State Close Behind"},"content":{"rendered":"

COLLEGE PARK, MD., Feb. 21. THEIR fabled men's basketball team may have fallen on hard times this season but Coach Frank Comfort's Lady Tar Heel swimmers — double-defending Atlantic Coast Conference champs — are sitting pretty after Day 1 of this year's meet.<\/p>\n

The 'Heels are ensconsed atop the standings with 204 points, followed by Florida State (195), Virginia (181), Clemson (114), North Carolina State (99), Maryland (94), Duke (87) and Georgia Tech (74).<\/p>\n

The 'Heels had but one win this evening but it was a record-breaker, as senior Christy Watkins raced to an ACC meet-standard 22.45 to win the 50 free.<\/p>\n

Her time — an automatic NCAA cut — is second-fastest nationally in the latest CSCAA\/www.swiminfo.com rankings to Cal's Natalie Coughlin's 22.21 from the Longhorn Invitational in Austin last December.<\/p>\n

Watkins' swim is just off the Carolina (and ACC) all-time record of 22.40 by Richelle Fox from the 1998 NCAA Championships in Minneapolis –a mark Watkins will be aiming to improve upon next month at the DI Championships in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n

(Fox, formerly known as Richelle DePold, is now married to ex-North Carolina State sprinter David Fox, who earned Olympic gold at Atlanta as part of the
\nUnited States' winning 400 free relay team.)<\/p>\n

Watkins' old pr was 22.66 from this meet two years ago.<\/p>\n

Another record-breaker was Virginia's Macedonian Olympian, Mirjana Boseveka, who went an ACC record 1:59.31 (NCAA auto) to win the 200 IM. Boseveka, who
\nhad never before been under the "magic" 2:00.0 barrier (old pr: 2:00.59 from '00 ACCs), broke the conference mark of 1:59.57 by North Carolina's Erika Acuff from last year's NCAAs.<\/p>\n

Carolina finished second and third here, with Katie Hathaway taking runner-up honors (2:00.76, NCAA auto) and Becky Acker (2:02.41) third.<\/p>\n

In the 500 free, Virginia's Cara Lane — defending NCAA 1650 champ — stroked to an NCAA auto mark with her 4:42.35 win, followed by teammate Carlie Dykehouse's pr 4:44.55 (also NCAA auto).<\/p>\n

Lane's pr is 4:39.60 which earned her a bronze at NCAAs in '01.<\/p>\n

Clemson's Lady Tigers got the evening's proceedings off to a qwick start with their school-record 1:31.39 200 free relay win, just .05 off Maryland's ACC record from last year's meet and the nation's second fastest time to date this season.<\/p>\n

UNC was third — good for 32 points — and scored another 32 with its bronze in the 400 medley relay, won by Florida State (3:42.00, consideration).<\/p>\n
