GREENSBORO, N.C. — Notre Dame walked into the Greensboro Aquatic Center on Thursday evening with high expectations after an impressive prelims showing. The results were even better than the Irish could’ve imagined.
On Day 3 of the 2023 ACC Swimming and Diving Championships, senior Jack Hoagland and sophomore Chris Guiliano earned conference titles. Hoagland — who already holds the school record in the 400 IM (3:40.73) – took the gold in the same event (3:41.15).
Just around an hour later, Guiliano’s 1:32.43 200 freestyle earned him a school record and his first ACC title. The record was previously held by Frank Dyer (1:33.20, set in 2014). Guiliano nows holds the fastest times in program history in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle.
Both Hoagland and Guiliano’s Thursday night times are NCAA B cuts and would have earned a spot at the NCAA Championships last year.
Prior to Thursday, Hoagland swam the 500 freestyle (4:16.31) on Wednesday, finishing fifth overall. Guiliano made the podium in the 50 freestyle on Wednesday, breaking his own school record and earning a bronze medal with a time of 18.93.
The No. 20 Notre Dame men’s team enters Friday’s competition in fourth place. The women are eighth.
