CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After winning a total of seven events and posting the fastest 100 free time in the NCAA this year, Chris Guiliano has been named the ACC Swimmer of the Week. It is his first weekly conference honor.
Last week, Guiliano swam the 50 free (19.35), 100 free (42.16), 200 free (1:33.75), 200 medley relay (18.58 free split), 400 medley relay (41.00 free split), 200 free relay (19.40 leadoff split) and 400 free relay (41.63 leadoff split) over the course of a two-day meet against Pittsburgh and Penn State.
Last year’s 200 free ACC champion currently ranks third or better in the nation in all three of those individual events: 50 free (third), 100 free (first) and 200 free (second). All of the marks are the best in the conference. To date this season, the junior captain has won 13 of his 15 events.
Notre Dame (4-0) is off this weekend but will resume its dual meet schedule with a Nov. 3 date at Louisville. The Irish are currently No. 17 in the country according to the CSCAA Top 25, while the Cardinals are No. 12.
