Peterson Family Head Coach Chris Lindauer will be coaching his first ACCs as the head of the team, and he has several swimmers who could end up on the podium this week.
On the women’s side, senior Coleen Gillilan is poised to final in multiple events. The school record holder in both the 100 and 200 butterfly, the Colorado native has been Notre Dame’s most consistent scorer this year. Her 51.73 100 butterfly from the Tim Welsh Classic is the seventh-fastest time in the event this year in the ACC, and a 1:55.54 200 butterfly from the Ohio State meet in November ranks sixth.
Senior Jack Hoagland makes his return to the conference stage after missing last year, and he is one of the favorites to win the 400 IM. Hoagland’s time from Notre Dame’s meet against Navy and Princeton this year (3:43.06) is the fastest anyone has gone in the conference this season by more than a second.
Sophomore and school record holder Chris Guiliano ranks in the top 10 in the ACC in multiple events this year; he is sixth in the 50 freestyle (19.30) and third in the 100 freestyle (42.32). The latter time, which he went at the Tim Welsh Classic in January, lowered his school record set last year (42.34).
Finally, freshman Tommy Janton has the third-best time in the ACC this year in the 200 backstroke (1:41.08). He is seventh in the 100 (46.50).
In the diving well, Mark Bradshaw’s squad has posted some impressive performances so far this year.
Freshman Daniel Knapp has been a particular bright spot. He won three individual events (two against Navy and Princeton, one against Louisville), and he took sixth overall at November’s Texas Diving Invitational. The Arizona native also competed at the 2022 USA Diving Winter National Championships in West Virginia, finishing 17th overall against future Olympians and other top American talent.
On the women’s side, sophomore Calie Brady looks to improve upon last year’s postseason. She made the NCAA Championships, but she struggled a bit down the stretch. She is coming off of her best performance of the year at the Tim Welsh Classic. Brady won the 1-meter event (314.55) and took second in the 3-meter (347.95).
