Cavs bring home eighth straight title

By Martin Barna | February 27, 2006

When Virginia's Ethan McCoy dove into the pool for the anchor leg of the 400-yard medley relay at this weekend's ACC Men's Swim and Dive Championships, few expected the senior freestyle sprinter to be in position to dethrone a dangerous Seminole relay squad. In the team standings at the time, Florida State still enjoyed a significant advantage, and the final event of the second-to-last day of competition was not one in which Virginia was expected to make up much ground. Yet, after three impressive splits from juniors Vanja Rogulj and Stefan Hirniak and sophomore Bryan Stahl, McCoy found himself making the final turn of the race with a slight edge over Florida State's Alex Kennan.

By Sean McLernon | February 23, 2006

Fran Crippen doesn't care how much talent you have or how fast you've been clocked in the pool. If you don't have the right attitude before jumping into the water, the Virginia men's swimming team captain wants you off the block. "I've told the guys, 'If you ever think you're not going to win, don't even bother swimming -- there's no point,'" Crippen said. These Cavaliers have a certain swagger about them.
