The first full day of competition at the 2024 ACC Swimming & Diving Championships gets underway with our customary offering of 500 free, 200 IM and 50 free prelims on Wednesday morning in Greensboro.
Virginia junior Gretchen Walsh headlines the field in the women’s 50 free as the defending champion and co-NCAA Record holder, having blasted a time of 20.79 earlier this season to match the mark set by Maggie MacNeil last season.
We’ll also see defending champions James Plage (500 free) and Arsenio Bustos (200 IM), both of NC State, on the men’s side, along with Abdelrahman Elaraby, who won the 50 free title last year with Louisville but will be racing for Notre Dame here in his fifth year of eligibility.
The women’s 500 free won’t have either co-champions from last season, Deniz Ertan, who transferred from GA Tech to ASU, or Ella Nelson, who will race the 200 IM.
The 200 IM will be headlined by Alex Walsh, the two-time champion who was the runner-up to graduated UVA teammate Kate Douglass last season.
