As the 2024 ACC Championships are coming to a close, Notre Dame standout Chris Guiliano had yet another phenomenal performance in him. After breaking the ACC record in the men’s 100 free in prelims this morning with a 40.84, Guiliano went on to claim victory in the race in tonight’s final, throwing down a 40.62.

Though he swim was only 0.22 seconds faster than what he went this morning, that 0.22 seconds represented quite a bit. Of course, he reset the ACC record in the event, along with the Notre Dame program record. On top of that, Guiliano’s swim tonight is the 6th-fastest 100 free in history. He’s also now jumped Bjorn Seeliger, Vlad Morozov, Dean Farris, Bowe Becker, and Brooks Curry on the all-time top performers list from his swim this morning. Guiliano is now 3rd all-time in the yards 100 free, behind only Caeleb Dressel (39.90) and Josh Liendo (40.28).

Here are the all-time top 10 performers in the men’s SCY 100 free:

1. Caeleb Dressel – 39.90 (2018)
2. Josh Liendo – 40.28 (2023)
3. Chris Guiliano – 40.62 (2024)
4. Bjorn Seeliger – 40.75 (2022)
5. Vlad Morozov – 40.76 (2013)
6. Dean Farris – 40.80 (2019)
7. Bowe Becker – 40.83 (2019)
8. Brooks Curry – 40.84 (2022)
9. Jack Alexy – 40.88 (2023)
10. Ryan Hoffer – 40.89 (2021)

Guiliano was out like a bullet, splitting a stunning 19.03 on the opening 50, which was the fastest 1st 50 split in the field by nearly a full second. That 19.03 was considerably faster than the 19.51 Guiliano went out in when he clocked his 40.84 this morning. His 2nd 50 split suffered a tiny bit tonight but he was clearly the better for it.
