Shortly thereafter, the NC State men followed up with the fastest time in the country so far this season in the same event, and both teams would add additional wins later in the evening in their respective 800 freestyle relays.<\/p>\n<p>In the women&#8217;s team competition, North Carolina has an early lead with 202 points, followed by Virginia (166), Louisville (160), NC State (140) and Notre Dame (126), with the results of 3-meter diving (and the Tar Heels&#8217; depth in that event) weighing heavily. When swimming individual events begin Wednesday, the likes of the Cavaliers and Wolfpack are expected to pull away from the field.<\/p>\n<p>On the men&#8217;s side, NC State already has a lead with 196 points while North Carolina (147), Notre Dame (145), Virginia Tech (137) and Pittsburgh (133.5) round out the top five.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2023 ACC Championships Links<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/acc-swimming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meet Home<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/sidearmstats.com\/acc\/swimming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Results<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theacc.com\/sports\/swimming_diving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meet Information Page<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Women&#8217;s 200 Medley Relay<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For the third consecutive year, the University of Virginia women have posted the fastest time in history in the 200 medley relay at the ACC Championships. The Cavaliers, who set American, NCAA and U.S. Open records in three out of five relays at last season&#8217;s conference meet, opened up this one by eclipsing their previous all-time fastest mark in the 200 medley relay by eight hundredths of a second. The team of\u00a0<strong>Gretchen Walsh<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Alex Walsh<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Lexi Cuomo<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Kate Douglass<\/strong> posted a mark of 1:31.73.<\/p>\n<p>Three of the four swimmers returned from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/virginia-shatters-fastest-time-ever-in-womens-200-medley-relay-gretchen-walsh-swims-first-ever-sub-23-50-backstroke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last year&#8217;s relay<\/a>, with Alex Walsh stepping into the breaststroke leg for the graduated\u00a0<strong>Alexis Wenger<\/strong>. Gretchen Walsh led off in 22.65, which was the fastest 50 backstroke split in history, beating the mark of 22.76 that NC State&#8217;s <strong>Katharine Berkoff<\/strong> posted at last year&#8217;s NCAA Championships. That mark was broken almost immediately when LSU&#8217;s <strong>Maggie Mac Neil<\/strong> went 22.52 on the same night at the SEC Championships.<\/p>\n<p>The older Walsh sister split 26.10 on breaststroke, and Cuomo went 22.49 on butterfly. Douglass, the NCAA champion and American-record holder in the 50 freestyle, came home in 20.49. While the versatile Walsh could not match the splits posted by Wenger on breaststroke, Cuomo and Douglass both beat their top times from last season to cement another record.<\/p>\n<p>North Carolina State finished second in the race in 1:33.02 with Berkoff,\u00a0<strong>Heather MacCausland<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Kylee Alons<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Abby Arens<\/strong>. While Berkoff was a half-second behind her all-time best form on backstroke, Alons went 21.99 on butterfly, faster than any woman in the field at last year&#8217;s NCAA Championships. While the Wolfpack finished more than a second behind the Cavaliers, Virginia and NC State were the only teams to post quicker marks all of last season.<\/p>\n<p>Louisville, with\u00a0<strong>Abby Hay<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Cecilia Viberg<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong><span class=\"text-theme-link-light s-text-regular-bold\">Christiana Regenauer<\/span><\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Gabi Albiero<\/strong>, placed third in 1:34.23, with Albiero splitting a sizzling 20.88 on the anchor leg.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sidearmstats.com\/acc\/swimming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Results<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<pre><b>Event 3  Women 200 Yard Medley Relay<\/b>\r\n==================================================================================\r\n         MEET: # 1:31.81  2\/17\/2022 Virginia, University of, UVA-VA\r\n                          G Walsh, A Wenger, A Cuomo, K Douglass\r\n         CONF: % 1:31.81  2\/17\/2022 Virginia, University of, UVA-VA\r\n                          G Walsh, A Wenger, A Cuomo, K Douglass\r\n         AMER: $ 1:31.81  2\/17\/2022 Virginia, University of, UVA-VA\r\n                          G Walsh, A Wenger, A Cuomo, K Douglass\r\n         USOP: &amp; 1:31.81  2\/17\/2022 Virginia, University of, UVA-VA\r\n                          G Walsh, A Wenger, A Cuomo, K Douglass\r\n         NCAA: !

Canny, a midseason addition from South Africa, posted the fastest split of the field with her 1:42.79, while Nelson&#8217;s 1:43.30 ranked third in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Virginia managed this performance without\u00a0<strong>Alex Walsh<\/strong> competing. Walsh provided the fastest split on Virginia&#8217;s second-place 800 free relay at last year&#8217;s NCAA Championships, but Cavaliers head coach\u00a0<strong>Todd DeSorbo<\/strong> opted to keep Walsh off the relay this time around and focus on the other four relays plus three individual events. Walsh is occupying a more valuable medley relay role this year with breaststroker\u00a0<strong>Alexis Wenger<\/strong> graduated. We&#8217;ll see if this switch is only for the conference meet or if Walsh will sit out this relay at NCAAs as well. Notably, only three teams (Stanford, Virginia and Cal) beat this mark of 6:55.15 all of last season.<\/p>\n<p>Louisville&#8217;s team of\u00a0<strong>Tristen Ulett<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Paige Hetrick<\/strong>, <strong><span class=\"text-theme-link-light s-text-regular-bold\">Fernanda Celidonio<\/span><\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Ella Welch<\/strong> placed second in 6:57.51, with Hetrick posting a 1:43.10 split that ranked second overall behind Canny.
