Everyone’s favorite swimming and diving blogger was sick and unable to attend tonight’s ACC men’s swimming and diving championships action at Eppley, but I did catch the racing on ACC Select.
As expected, the Terps broke more records than they didn’t. Tonight’s action saw new program bests in the 200 IM (Andrew Relihan – 1:46.03), 500 free (Brian Honore – 4:23.27) and 200 free relay (1:19.91).
Relihan’s mark earned him a third-place spot on the podium and crucial points for the Terps, who currently stand in seventh place with 96. Their nearest target is NC State (121).
And, yes, Virginia — shocking, I know! — is already on pace to make this a laugher, though not as convincingly as their ladies did last week. The ‘Hoos sit atop the leaderbord with 277 points, 55.5 points ahead of second-place Florida State.
