The third day of the ACC Men’s Championships got off to a flying start with three meet records in the morning session.
Virginia Tech’s Youssef Ramadan started it by going 44.53 in the 100 butterfly, taking down the meet record set in 2017 by NC State’s Ryan Held (44.79). It also downed the Greensboro Aquatic Center mark set in 2020 by Louisville’s Nicolas Albiero (44.83).
In the 200 freestyle, Lukas Miler of NC State went 1:32.28 in prelims. That breaks the meet record held jointly between Albiero and Scott Robison of Virginia from 2010 at 1:32.45.
Evgenii Somov of Louisville entered his name to the record books in the 100 breaststroke, clocking in at 51.36. It shaves a tenth off the meet record held since 2017 by Peter Kropp of Duke. He also trimmed by a half second his pool record from last year.
