2022 ACC Championships: Alexis Wenger Moves to Third All-Time in 100 Breast; Louisville Top Seed in Four Events<\/strong><\/p>\n

The University of Virginia women and North Carolina State University men have been impressive through the first three days of the ACC Championships, while Louisville sits third in the women’s meet and second in the men’s. Friday morning proved to be a strong session for the Cardinals, however, as junior\u00a0Abby Hay<\/strong> claimed the top seed in the women’s 200 fly, and reigning NCAA champion Nick Albiero<\/strong> paced the men’s 200 fly. Teammates\u00a0Mitchell Whyte<\/strong> and\u00a0Evgenii Somov<\/strong> were first in the men’s 100 back and 100 breast, respectively.<\/p>\n

In the women’s 100 breast, Virginia’s\u00a0Alexis Wenger<\/strong> set a new ACC record in the 100 breast to top defending NCAA champion Sophie Hansson<\/strong> of NC State in qualifying, and Wenger became the third-fastest performer in history in the process. Meanwhile, NC State’s Katharine Berkoff<\/strong> was first in the women’s 100 back prelims, two spots ahead of Virginia freshman\u00a0Gretchen Walsh<\/strong>, who swam the fastest 50 back relay leadoff ever in Thursday’s 200 medley relay, leading to a Virginia American record<\/a>.<\/p>\n
