Day 2 of the 2025 AAC Championships saw Rice jump in the rankings, moving all the way up to 1st by a considerable margin. Tulane dropped to 2nd but is still hanging in there, while defending champions Florida International is moving up the chain, now sitting in 4th.
The session opened up with Rice freshman Ava Portello winning the 500 free in 4:44.06. The swim marks a huge career best for the freshman, blowing away her previous mark of 4:48.31, which she swam in the fall. In some exciting news for the conference, it was Tulane freshman Lise Coetzee who came in 2nd, swimming a career best of 4:45.04.
FIU then found themselves on top of the podium, seeing Nicole Frank win the 200 IM decisively with a 1:57.42. She swam a great race all around, splitting 25.90 on fly, 29.21 on back, 33.68 on breast, and came home in 28.63. This wasn’t Frank’s first AAC title, but it was her first title in the 200 IM.
Tulane was dominant in the 50 free last night, as grad student Catherine Russo won the event in 22.20, finishing just 0.01 seconds off the meet record. Russo, who spent her undergrad at Ohio State, holds a career best of 22.04. Fellow Tulane grad student Maya Wilson came in 2nd with a 22.41.
After that performance in the 50 free, Tulane then went on to win the 200 free relay. Russo (22.21), Olcaytu Hatipoglu (23.03), Rafaela Sumida (22.98), and Wilson (21.85) combined for a 1:30.07, finishing just off the meet record of 1:29.83, which has stood since 2014.
North Texas did damage in 1-meter diving, seeing Kamryn Wong win with a score of 310.90. Teammate Sydney Guidara came in 2nd with a score of 290.30.
