ACC Championships Day 2: Kate Douglass Goes 1:50.70 for 200 IM Record
Kate Douglass wasted no time at the Greensboro Aquatic Center Wednesday morning.
The UVA star senior blasted a 1:50.70 in the prelims of the women’s 200 individual medley. That’s the top seed by more than four seconds, and it sets a meet and pool record. In her sights at night is the conference/NCAA/American record of her teammate Alex Walsh at 1:50.08.
It was the latest installment of UVA domination on the second day of five at the ACC Championships.

Women’s 500 freestyle
Virginia will pick up plenty of points with three A finalists, but Georgia Tech’s Deniz Ertan leads the way in prelims. Her time of 4:40.03 was clear of the field by a half second. Cavaliers are on her tail, with Ella Nelson second and Maddie Donohoe third.

Women’s 50 freestyle
Kate Douglass takes a Walsh record, so it’s only right that a Walsh take a Kate Douglass record.
Gretchen Walsh did that in the 50, going 21.01 to ern the top seed by .58 seconds. It down’s the pool mark set in 2021 by Douglass (21.09). In Walsh’s sights are the ACC/American/U.S. Open/NCAA record of 20.84 belonging to Douglass, though Douglass may have a say in the 200 free relay.
Second is Gabi Albiero in 21.59, an A cut for the Louisville junior. Katharine Berkoff was third in 21.68 with UNC’s Grace Countie fourth.
