Here are the team scores through day 1 swimming events, with all 3 diving events factored in:
- Duke – 258
- Florida State – 247
- Louisville – 243
- NC State – 227
- Virginia Tech – 196

- North Carolina – 146

*Note: Miami has only divers on their men’s team, so 161 will remain their score for the entire meet.
Teams began to stratify on day 2 of the 2019 ACC Championships, with the expected top 4 teams (NC State, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Louisville) separating themselves from the rest of the conference with 12, 11, 12, and 11 finalists, respectively.
NC State leads all teams with 8 A-finalists, including 4 in the 50 free (where their chief challengers, Virginia, had 0). Virginia went big in the 200 IM with 3 in the A-final, but with with no Robby Giller, they only had 2 in the A final in the 500.
NC State’s prelims session should be enough to lift them to the top of the “all diving included” standings at the end of day 2. The Wolfpack should open up over a 100-point lead on the field in Thursday’s finals session, leaving the other 3 teams to battle for 2nd.

At this point, with summer league swimming background only I am fairly confident I could build a better UNC program than this….
Hold up… is the real race between BC and unc????? maybe not. Unc did have divers score, so they should eek out a 10th place finish.
Ouch.
