The Virginia men’s swimming and diving team won its 12th ACC Championship and its 10th in the last 11 years during the weekend at College Park, Md., matching the women’s victory two weeks before. The Cavaliers totalled 832 points, easily defeating runner-up Florida State, which only managed 640.
Sophomore Matt McLean was named the Most Valuable Swimmer for the second straight year. McLean, who set ACC records in the 1650 and 500 freestyle events, became the first swimmer in ACC history to win the award consecutively.
Virginia also set a conference record time in the 800-yard freestyle relay on the first day of the event, as the team of John Azar, David Karasek, Scot Robison and McLean posted a 6:15.02 time. Robison also swam the 100-yard freestyle in a conference record 42.94.
