COLLEGE PARK, MD., Feb. 22. THE 'Heels are still in the driver's seat but the Cavs are looming large in their rearview mirror.<\/p>\n

Coach Frank Comfort's Lady Tar Heels, double-defending Atlantic Coast Conference champs, hold a 432.5-403 advantage over Virginia's Cavaliers, coached by Mark Bernardino, at the conclusion of the second day of
\ncompetition.<\/p>\n

Florida State is third (374) followed by Clemson and the rest of the pack.<\/p>\n

Carolina won three inividual races and set a pair of pool records, while Virginia's Mirjana Boseveska splashed to her second gold and host Maryland got a surprise victory in the 100 butterfly from junior Bridget Mallon.<\/p>\n

As was the case in the 200 freestyle relay opening night, Clemson's Tigers claimed the gold in the 200 medley relay this evening with a 1:40.76 clocking, just off the ACC meet record of 1:40.69 by Virginia from the 1999 Championships. The time is fourth-fastest nationally and just misses the NCAA "A" cut of 1:40.30.<\/p>\n

In the 400 IM, Cavalier junior Bosevska, who set an ACC record en route to her 200 IM victory last evening, got her second meet-standard with a 4:11.76
\nwin. Teammate Amy Baly (4:15.71) was second and Maryland's Elizabeth Lavell (4:16.36) third. The victory was Boseveka's third-consecutive and she'll
\nbe back to try and make it four-for-four next season.<\/p>\n

Bosevska also holds the Cav school record with her 4:11.52 from last year's NCAA finals. Her swim this evening just missed the all-time ACC record of 4:11.32 by North Carolina's Polly Winde, that won in '84. Baly's pr is 4:13.69 while bronz-medalist Lavell's clocking is her pr, a Maryland school-record and 12th-fastest nationally.<\/p>\n

The Terrapins' Mallon recorded a pr and school-record 54.01 to win the 100 fly with Florida State's Candice Nethercott (54.48) second and Clemson's Elise Thieler (55.20) third. Thieler did a 54.97 in the prelims and the top two finishers made the NCAA "A" standard of 54.54.<\/p>\n

Carolina soph Jessi Perrequet, last season's ACC Rookie of the Year and school record-holder in the 200 free off her 1:46.24 from the Nike Cup last fall, won her specialty in 1:47.90. The win was Perrequet's
\nsecond-straight. Virginia frosh Laura Lipskis was hot on her "heels" with a pr 1:48.08 and the Cavs' Carlie Dykehouse (1:48.21) took third.<\/p>\n

Perequet's 1:46+ ranks her 35th on the all-time performers' list and is fourth-fastest nationally this season. That time is also second-best in ACC history, ranking only behind Clemson's Mitzi Kremer's 1:44.78 that won NCAAs in '89.<\/p>\n

Comfort is hoping his supersoph will top that time before her days of wearing Carolina blue are over, and preferably next month in Austin (site of the NCAA Championship).<\/p>\n

Tar Heel senior Katy Hathaway won the 100 breast for the third-consecutive year with a pr and school-record 1:01.09, fourth-fastest nationally. Her old records were 1:01.30.<\/p>\n

Hathaway will be after the ACC record of 1:00.45 by former Virginia star Danica Wizniuk — set at the '99 NCAAs in Athens — at Austin. She also holds the Carolina record in the 200 breast (2:11.94) while again Wizniuk holds the ACC meet and all-time standard (2:11.82 from '99 in this same pool).<\/p>\n

The final individual event, the 100 back, saw UNC's 50 free champ Christy Watkins race to a 54.88-56.08 win over North Carolina State's Erika Newell. Watkins holds the Carolina, meet and overall ACC record with her 53.92 from the '00 championship.<\/p>\n

The NCAA auto cut is 54.86 but Watkins made the standard with her record-setting 22.45 50 free win so she'll swim the backstroke at NCAAs.<\/p>\n

Virginia, NCAA defending NCAA 1650 free champ Cara Lane leading off in 1:49.46, wonm the 800 free relay while North Carolina was second. Lane won the 500 free earlier here.<\/p>\n
