ACC Championships, Night 4: Claire Curzan Drops No. 2 All-Time 100 Back\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Claire Curzan<\/strong> has been in good form this season for University of Virginia. Even by those standards, she was excellent on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Curzan went 48.38 to set the pool record at the ACC Championships Friday at Georgia Tech. That moves her to the No. 2 all-time performer, with former teammate Gretchen Walsh<\/strong> holding the NCAA record at 48.10.<\/p>\n

Yamato Okadome<\/strong> of Cal also added a meet record in the men\u2019s 100 breaststroke later in the night, and helped the Golden Bears to a meet record in the 400 medley relay.<\/p>\n

In the team standings, Virginia is in firm control of the women’s title race, and a relay DQ for Stanford means there’s 62.5 points separating Cal and the Cardinal in the battle for second. It’s only 28 between the old Pac-12 rivals in the men’s team standings, and that battle is for first.<\/p>\n

All the action from Friday night:<\/p>\n
