The 2026 ACC Championships are underway at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta, GA. While divers have been competing over the past two days, the first swimming session is tonight, featuring the 200 medley and 800 free relays. Florida State men and UVA women hold the top seeds in these events, but the competition is fierce.
Controversial Moment: In the men's 200 medley relay, NC State was initially declared the winner, but was later disqualified, with Florida State taking the gold. This decision sparked debate, as the livestream's graphics appeared to be inaccurate.
The women's 200 medley relay saw Louisville upset the defending champions, UVA, with a time of 1:32.26 to UVA's 1:32.46. Louisville's Julie Mishler led off with a 23.73, while UVA's Sara Curtis and Claire Curzan delivered strong splits.
In the men's 200 medley relay, Florida State held on to their top seed with a time of 1:22.38, while Cal and Louisville finished close behind. The women's and men's 800 free relays will be wide open, with several teams in the mix.
