The 2022 ACC Swimming and Diving Championships continued on Wednesday with the first preliminary session of the meet from the McAuley Aquatic Center at Georgia Tech.
Defending NCAA champion Virginia looks to take control early in the women’s meet, while NC State, Virginia Tech and Louisville will look to play spoiler. The Wolfpack will fight with the same teams in the men’s meet.
The first morning session of the meet consisted of the women’s and men’s 500 freestyle, 200 IM and 50 freestyle before men’s 1-meter diving.
Virginia’s Kate Douglass and Gretchen Walsh highlighted the morning by tying for the ACC meet record in the 50 freestyle.
ACC Women’s 500 Freestyle
Virginia has a couple of studs in the event, but it was Louisville sophomore Liberty Williams, who took the top seed in the 500 free. Williams touched the wall in 4:40.53 after holding a 28-second pace until the final 50 where she went 27.90.
Virginia freshman Emma Weyant was right on her heels, finishing in 4:41.39. She also had all 28 splits except for a 27.68 on the final 50, which could lead to an exciting finish in the finals.
Virginia junior Madelyn Donohoe took the third seed at 4:42.50, followed by Virginia Tech’s Chase Travis (4:42.73) and Reka Gyorgy (4:43.93). NC State rounded out the top eight with Yara Hierath (4:44.22), Katharine Foley (4:44.72) and Brooke Travis (4:45.06).

ACC Women’s 50 Freestyle
Virginia’s Kate Douglass and Gretchen Walsh both broke the ACC meet record in the 50 freestyle, tying for the top seed in 21.25.
They broke Douglass’ mark of 21.50 set at last year’s meet. Her overall ACC record is 21.09 set at last year’s NCAA Championships.
It was the first of three ties in the event and should be an extremely intriguing showdown in the final.
NC State junior Katharine Berkoff was just behind at 21.69, tying North Carolina’s Grace Countie for the third seed at 21.69.
There was another tie for the fifth seed as Louisville’s Gabrielle Albiero and NC State’s Kylee Alons both finished in 21.79.
Virginia’s Alexa Cuomo took the seventh seed (21.86) and Virginia Tech senior Anna Landon took eighth (22.21).
