ACC Championships, Night 3 Finals: Lucy Bell Starts Record Setting Night in 400 IM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Records fell with regularity on Thursday night at the ACC Championships, starting with Stanford\u2019s Lucy Bell<\/strong> in the 400 IM.<\/p>\n

Bell went 3:59.11, downing the three-year-old mark set by Ella Nelson<\/strong> of Virginia. It would be the first of two pool records and two meet records to go by the wayside for the session.<\/p>\n

Anna Moesch<\/strong> set the pool record by becoming just the fourth woman to break 1:40 in the 200 freestyle in college competition<\/a>, and Henry McFadden<\/strong> of Stanford downed Luke Miller\u2019s<\/strong> meet mark in the 200 free from 2022.<\/p>\n

Moesch helped Virginia stretch its lead to more than 100 points in the team category as the Cavaliers chase a seventh consecutive team title. On the men’s side, Cal and Stanford are neck-and-deck, with both Louisville and NC State dented by early disqualifications.<\/p>\n
