2025 ACC SWIMMING AND DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS
February 18-22, 2025 Greensboro Aquatic Center — Greensboro, North Carolina Defending Champions: NC State (results) Full Event Schedule (pre-scratch timeline) Championship Central Psych Sheets Live Results (also available on Meet Mobile as “2025 ACC Championship” Live StreamingThe 2025 ACC Championships get underway in earnest this evening with the first full finals session.
Fans shouldn’t have to wait long to see fast swimming; the first event on the docket is the 200 free relay relay. The Virginia women set the all-time record here last year, and heading into today, they have the fastest time in the NCAA this season by over a second. On the men’s side, the relay figures to be a battle between the current ACC record holders, NC State, and the Cal Bears, who return three of four legs from last year’s NCAA runner-up squad.
The first individual event will be the 500 free. Both Stanford and Virginia put three women each into the A-final, with Stanford’s Aurora Roghair leading the way this morning with a 4:34.79. The Cal men will also have three men in the A-final, with Lucas Henveaux (4:12.42) swimming in lane 4.
Virginia’s Leah Hayes led the 200 IM prelims with a 1:54.18 this morning, but Stanford stands to earn the most points after putting a whopping five women into the top eight. Somewhat surprisingly, Virginia Tech’s Carles Coll Marti didn’t swim on either relay last night, but he seems to be fine, as he led the men with a 1:41.35 in prelims.
Last year, UVA’s Gretchen Walsh swam the fastest 50 free ever here at ACCs, before lowering her own mark by another two-tenths the next month at NCAAs. She has the chance to do the same this year after going 20.87 in prelims to claim the top seed by nearly six-tenths of a second. On the men’s side, four swimmers went under 19.0 in prelims, led by Cal’s Jack Alexy (18.71). Don’t ignore the B- and C-finals though; only 0.19s separated 8th from 24th (actually a tie for 23rd) this morning, meaning that we should see plenty of close races and fast times in all three men’s 50 free finals.
The evening will wind down with the A-final of the men’s 1m diving event. Stanford’s Jack Ryan qualified in the top spot in prelims with a score of 392.85, but he’ll face a strong field that includes 2023 champion Max Flory of Miami (FL), and Georgia Tech’s Max Fowler, who won the 3m event last night.
