Almost as exciting as watching the championship swimming in the pool is watching the coaching staff’s reactions on the deck. In this case, it’s the Louisville’s coaches, in particular Stephanie Juncker, who can’t contain her excitement over the Cardinal women’s performances at the ACC Championship meet.

University of Virginia’s Leah Smith laid waste to the NCAA Record in the women’s 1650 to take the ACC Title in an otherworldly time of 15:25.30…..and kept the bells ringing in her head the whole time.

This was after Dressel’s prelims 50 freestyle swim of 18.39. Did somebody check-in on Will Licon after Dressel topped that with his 18.23?
