The first day of the 2021 ACC Women’s Championships are in the books, and so far as expected the UVA women take the early lead just after the 200 medley relay, 800 free relay, and 3-meter diving. In case you missed it, UVA set a new NCAA record in the 200 medley relay at 1:32.93. The Cavaliers also won the 800 free relay at 6:54.31, comfortably breaking 7 minutes and the ACC meet record by a second. But let’s take a closer look at some of the fastest relay splits in the pool this evening not just from UVA but from all 12 competing ACC teams.
While UNC backstroker Grace Countie hit sub-24 in the water for the Tar Heels’ 200 medley relay, juniors Sophie Lindner and Heidi Lowe were missing in Greensboro. Lindner and Lowe joined Countie and Allie Reiter for their current season best of 1:37.69. This evening, the Tar Heels took 7th in the event at 1:37.91. Lindner and Lowe were also members of UNC’s sub-7:10 relay from last season. Tonight, the UNC 800 free relay took 10th at 7:14.77.
In the 200 medley relay, NC State sophomore Katharine Berkoff posted the 4th-fastest 50 back in history at 23.37 leading off the Wolfpack’s second place relay. Also swimming under 24 seconds were backstrokers UVA’s Caroline Gmelich (23.70) and UNC’s Countie (23.90). UVA’s Alexis Wenger hit a blazing 26.03 in the 50 breast, easily one of the top-25 fastest splits in history. NC State’s Sophie Hansson also hit 26.31 while Louisville’s Kaylee Wheeler posted the only other sub-27 swim at 26.41. UVA’s Alexa Cuomo had the fastest fly split by a half second at 22.58, the only sub-23 fly split. Likewise, UVA also had the fastest free split thanks to Kate Douglass‘ 20.62. NC State’s Kylee Alons also went sub-21 with a 20.82.
Into the 800 free relay, UVA swam the top 3 fastest splits of the event, led by senior Paige Madden (1:42.96), freshman Alex Walsh (1:43.19), and sophomore Ella Nelson (1:43.49). NC State’s Berkoff had the next fastest 200 free, hitting the 4th sub-1:44 split at 1:43.72. UVA also had the fastest lead-off leg from Kyla Valls, touching in at 1:44.67.
