Her teammate <strong>Kylee Alons<\/strong> was also under 22 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, Hill is the second seed. Duke\u2019s <strong>Alyssa Marsh,<\/strong> who was fifth last year, is third, with Perry fourth and <strong>Grace Countie<\/strong> (fourth last year) is fifth. Alons is the eighth seed, with Louisville\u2019s <strong>Jillian Visscher<\/strong> (sixth last year) 10th and <strong>Sirena Rowe<\/strong> (seventh last year) 11th. Only Louisville\u2019s <strong>Avery Braunecker,<\/strong> who finished eighth in 2019, is far back as the 43rd seed. That\u2019s before you factor in <strong>Kate Douglass,<\/strong> the only A-cut holder, as the top seed (pending which three of the seven events she picks) and four 22-mid freshmen seeded 12th to 15th.<\/p>\n<h4>100 butterfly, Friday<\/h4>\n<p>A year ago, Hill edged Louisville\u2019s <strong>Grace Oglesby<\/strong> to the title by .01. Oglesby got her win in the 200 fly, but with Douglass hovering over the field (again with an A Cut of 50.30) and Marsh as the second seed at 51.05, there could be an interloper in the quest for a rematch. Oglesby is the third seed with Hill fourth.<\/p>\n<h4>400 individual medley, Friday<\/h4>\n<p>NC State\u2019s signature event in last year\u2019s ACC championships might have been the 400 IM, in which the Wolfpack gobbled up the top four spots (and added two B finalists and three C finalists for good measure). <strong>Kate Moore<\/strong> won the race in 4:05.25, with <strong>Makayla Sargent, Emma Muzzy<\/strong> and <strong>Julia Poole<\/strong> following. All four are back, with Muzzy as the top seed followed by Moore and Sargent with Poole fifth. Poole is also seeded third in Friday\u2019s 200 free, which might be the divide-and-conquer move. But it\u2019s hard to overestimate the psychological impact of such a huge points sweep.<\/p>\n<h4>100 backstroke, Friday<\/h4>\n<p>NC State won 10 of the 18 swimming events last year. Louisville won five (three by Comerford, plus a relay and Oglesby\u2019s win) and Virginia won three. Can someone from one of the other nine schools in the conference sneak in and grab a gold? One of the best chances might come from UNC\u2019s Countie in the 100 back, where she\u2019s the top seed. She\u2019s got NC State freshman <strong>Katharine Berkoff<\/strong> and UVA\u2019s <strong>Caroline Gmelich<\/strong> on her heels, ahead of them by less than three-tenths of a second.<\/p>\n<h4>200 backstroke, Saturday<\/h4>\n<p>If, as expected, the ACC Championships team race comes down to Virginia and NC State, then all eyes will naturally be on the culminating 400 free relay, in which Virginia carries the top seed with UNC and NC State within a second. But the preliminary battleground will be the 200 back, where of the top 10 seeds, only seventh-seeded <strong>Sophie Lindner<\/strong> (UNC) hails from a school other than UVA or NC State. Virginia will field the top seed in <strong>Paige Madden,<\/strong> along with <strong>Emma Seiberlich<\/strong> (fifth) and <strong>Megan Moroney<\/strong> (10th). The other six spots in the top 10 belong to NC State, with Muzzy, Berkoff and Moore in two through five and Alons sixth. Those are big points on offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year\u2019s ACC Championships turned into the Mallory Comerford show, the Louisville senior becoming the only swimmer to win three individual events.
