Claire Curzan, Thomas Heilman Among Standouts at Virginia Intrasquad<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Virginia Cavaliers held an intrasquad competition Saturday in Charlottesville, Va., swimming a series of off-distance events in an Orange vs. Blue format. The Orange team came out on top 252-216 while swimmers such as\u00a0Claire Curzan<\/strong>,\u00a0Aimee Canny<\/strong>,\u00a0Thomas Heilman\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Maximus Williamson<\/strong> shined.<\/p>\n

Curzan picked up a win in the 150 freestyle in 1:14.93, edging out Anna Moesch<\/strong> (1:15.11) and Cay (1:15.76), and she went on to add victories in the 150 backstroke (1:21.59) and 50 butterfly (23.15). Canny, meanwhile, got a chance to shine outside of her specialty mid-distance freestyle races, picking up wins in the 50 breaststroke (27.34), 150 breast (1:33.28) and 100 IM (54.28).<\/p>\n

Additionally, Katie Grimes<\/strong> swam a time of 5:40.66 in the 600 freestyle, lowering the team record kept for the intrasquad meet. Grimes came in second in a tight 300 free race with\u00a0Cavan Gormsen<\/strong>, who touched in 2:44.62 to Grimes’ 2:44.75.\u00a0Leah Hayes<\/strong>, fresh off two gold medals at the World University Games this summer, topped the field in the 300 IM in 3:02.87.<\/p>\n
