Virginia’s women’s swimming team continued its dominance during this week’s ACC Championships with another record-setting performance.
The 800 free relay team of Aimee Canny, Claire Curzan, Alex Walsh and Gretchen Walsh broke U.S. Open, NCAA, ACC and school records with a 6:44.13 time on Tuesday, topping the old mark of 6:45.91 set by Stanford at the 2017 NCAA Championships.
During that record-setting swim, Gretchen Walsh set an ACC mark with a 1:39.35 split in the opening leg and second-fastest 200 free time in history behind Missy Franklin’s 1:39.10 set at the 2015 NCAA Championships.
Virginia’s women’s team now holds records in all five NCAA relays, as well as every ACC record.
After tonight’s performance, Virginia Women’s Swimming now owns every Atlantic Coast Conference record. There are none left to break. 😤
