ACC Championships, Day 5: Yamato Okadome, Josh Zuchowski Set Up Men\u2019s Title Showdown<\/strong><\/p>\n

The difference in the men\u2019s team race at the ACC Championships is 28 points entering the fifth and final day on Saturday. Points could come in chunks for Stanford and California, the teams vying for the crown, in a men\u2019s race that is much more evenly spread than in many prior years.<\/p>\n

Josh Zuchowski<\/strong> laid down a marker by taking the top seed in the 200 back, Cal\u2019s usual power, while 100 breast winner Yamato Okadome<\/strong> of Cal is the second seed in the 200 breast.<\/p>\n

On the women\u2019s side, there\u2019s no stopping Virginia\u2019s run to a seventh straight title, and a relay DQ has Stanford on the back foot in trying to chase down a 62.5-point deficit on Cal.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s night session will start with the miles and will end with the 400 free relays.<\/p>\n

All of Saturday morning\u2019s action at Georgia Tech\u2019s McAuley Aquatic Center:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
