2024 ACC SWIMMING AND DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

WOMEN’S 200 MEDLEY RELAY – TIMED FINALS

  • NCAA Record: 1:31.73, Virginia – 2023 ACC Championships
  • ACC Record: 1:31.73, Virginia – 2023 ACC Championships
  • ACC Championship Record: 1:31.73, Virginia (2023)

Top 3:

  2. NC State – 1:34.22
  3. UNC – 1:35.15

Virginia’s Jasmine Nocentini swam the third-fastest 50 breaststroke split on Tuesday night as she swam a 25.49. That swim also makes her the #2 performer all-time only behind Lilly King.

Top Relay Splits, Women’s 50-Yard Breaststroke

  1. Lilly King, Indiana – 25.36 (2019)
  2. Lilly King, Indiana – 25.38 (2018)
  3. Jasmine Nocentini, Virginia – 25.49 (2024)
  4. Hannah Bach, Ohio State – 25.51 (2022)
  5. Tie: Anna Elendt, Texas- 25.54 (2023) / Jorie Caneta, Texas A&M – 25.54 (2018)
  6. Heather MacCausland, NC State – 25.69 (2023)

Nocentini helped the Virginia 200 medley relay to a win at ACCs. The team went on to swim a 1:33.84. No other breaststroke split was under the 26-second mark.

Nocentini arrived for Virginia this fall after previously swimming for Northwestern and Florida International.

With FIU and Northwestern, she primarily swam the sprint freestyle events. Last season with Northwestern, she experimented with some breaststroke events including a 26.82 50 breast split (unsuited) during a tri-meet. She swam faster in the team’s medley relay at 2022 midseasons as she split a 25.79 then while suited up. Nocentini also swam the 100 breast at midseason swimming a 58.31, a time that was the 10th fastest in the NCAA last season even after Nocentini did not swim at Big Tens or NCAAs.

Just 10 days ago, Nocentini swam a personal best of a 57.89 in the 100 breast at the Cavalier Invitational.

So the record splits are currently
G. Walsh (22.77)
A. Walsh (26.30)
L.Cuomo (22.10)
K. Douglass (20.34)

They could take a second off of the first half, but then whoever the anchor is (likely Parker?) is probably gonna be a second slower than Douglass on the last leg. Then it would really come down to how fast Alex can be on the fly – I think 22.10 isn’t impossible, but that would have to be a really good swim

Or do they save Alex for the 200 free relay?

In 2022 in 200 medley relay, they went 1:31.8 with Gretchen Walsh at 22.8, Wenger at 26.1, Cuomo 22.7 and Douglass 20.55. Walsh and Nocentini can improve on the first half, and Novelline was in line with Cuomo’s 2022 time. Anchor needs to be closer to 21.1. Parker was 21.5 in last years 200 free relay. Canny is a little slower. Shame that Curzan isn’t eligible, she went 20.9 last year.
