The Blue Devils also swept the top three spots in the 1000 freestyle with Teddy Helfers, Cooper Moore and Andy Storm placing first, second and third, respectively. Helfers and Moore repeated their first and second-place finishes in the 500 freestyle event, this time being joined by Jay Ashenfelter to round out the top three finishers.
The 15th-ranked North Carolina women's team swept dual meets from No. 24 Virginia Tech and Richmond while the No. 11-rated Tar Heel men's squad fell to seventh-ranked Minnesota while defeating Virginia Tech in action Saturday at Koury Natatorium in Chapel Hill.
