Friday Live Results
A Look at Duke
The Duke women sit atop the ACC standings with a conference win over Pittsburgh while the men are tied with the Georgia Tech men for first. The Blue Devil men checked in at No. 17 in this week's CollegeSwimming.com top 50 and the women were tabbed 20th. Junior Peter Kropp entered the week leading the country in the 100 breaststroke and ranked fifth at the 200-yard distance (1:59.01) while also pacing all ACC men's swimmers. Junior James Peek owns the conference's top time in the 50 freestyle at 20.20. Junior Kaz Takabayashi, Kropp, senior David Armstrong and Peek lead the conference and rank third nationally in the 200 medley relay after going 1:27.75 against Pittsburgh. Freshman Mackenzie Willborn's 3-meter score of 356.7 is tops among the ACC's female divers, while teammate Leah Goldman is third in the league and 10th in the country in the 200 IM.
A Look at Florida State
The Florida State men and women split with Minnesota in their dual meet opener Oct. 3 before the women took fourth last weekend at the SMU Classic. The Seminoles were also second at the Pinch A Penny All-Florida Invitational last month, finishing behind only Florida. The men's team enters the weekend ranked 21st in the CollegeSwimming.com top 50 while the women check in at No. 27. Calvin Bryant owns the ACC's top time to date in the 1,650 freestyle (16:09.54) and teammate Connor Kalisz is the conference leader in the 200 backstroke (1:46.64). Kalisz also helped Florida State post the league's top time in the 800 freestyle relay (6:51.85). The Seminole women are also represented amongst the ACC's top performers, as Summer Finke is second in the mile (17:22.87) and fellow rookie Megan Brown is ranked second in the 200 (2:01.37) and 400 IM (4:09.82).
A Look at Queens
The reigning Div. II national champions, the Queens men and women look to pick up where they left off last season. The women sat atop CollegeSwimming.com's Div. II top 50 this week after taking fourth at the All-North Carolina Invitational to start the season while the men were second overall following a fifth-place finish at the statewide meet. Both teams claimed the top Div. II spot at the two-day invitational. Dion Dreesens and Patricia Castro-Ortega collected Bluegrass Mountain Conference Swimmer of the Week honors for their performances, with Dreesens notching a Div. II NCAA automatic cut in the 200 freestyle.
