Where can we buy tickets? I googled it and can’t find anywhere to purchase the tickets.
Shouldn’t SEC psych sheets be released by now?
Could there be a protest going on? (Full conspiracy mode engage)
Charlie Hawke isn’t an Olympian.

Wait really?? Or is this a projection?

I am not a fan of anything Cal-related, but Noah Yanchulis knows what he’s doing with the distance kids and he’s a legit fan of the sport. I’m a fan of him.
UVA womens relays
first night- walsh, walsh, canny, curzan break 4×200 record!
that still leaves wilson, weber, novelline, moesch/parker to swim 200 medley relay
remainder of meet- walsh, walsh, curzan, moesch/parker go after 200 free relay, 400 medley relay,
and 400 free relay records!
a wilson/howley, weber, novelline, moesch/parker line up would be pretty vulnerable to cal or nc state… i think its more likely (if they go for a full powered 4×200) they have alex double up and skip one of the other relays.
but even w alex in one of the middle legs — it feels like it would still be pretty tight… would be a fun race tho!
so 200 medley relay gets 3rd, but all other relays get 1st and a shot at the records
C. Curzan and G. Walsh are too valuable on the women’s 50/100 yard freestyle/medley relays to swim the women’s 4 x 200 yard freestyle relay at the 2025 NCAA DI Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships.
It’s the ACC or bust for the NCAA Record in the women’s 4 x 200 yard freestyle relay. If the University of Virginia women’s swimming program does not taper for the 2025 ACC Swimming & Diving Championships, sink it.
I agree but they’re winning NCAAs regardless of what relays they swim.
Sure, if the University of Texas women’s swimming program lays an egg on the road. The wild card is the University of Texas women’s diving program.
You’re pretending this might be close for some reason, I think you like setting up Texas for the possibility that they might win so you can trash them when they inevitably don’t. We all know you’re weirdly obsessed with UVA and Texas women
Hey David,
Stop reading Andrew’s comments.
