Virginia has yet to swim an 800 free relay this season, usually waiting to make their debut at ACCs and not swimming at the mid-season invite, so we don&#8217;t really know what that relay holds in store for them. These two teams usually sit next to each other on deck in Greensboro and it has quickly become one of the top rivalries in the country and they are both one of the reasons why the ACC is so stacked on the women&#8217;s side. All five relays are expected to come down to the wire, and Virginia and NC State will each want to gain some momentum heading into NCAAs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is the best breaststroker in the conference?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_364480\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-364480\" data-attachment-id=\"364480\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/a-look-at-the-returning-scorers-in-the-division-i-ncaa-womens-swimming-landscape\/sophie-hansson-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/sophie-hansson-_PB75707-e1583178171641.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1100,825\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.
