The Virginia women closed out the final day of the 2025 ACC Championships by setting a new meet record in the 400 free relay. The previous ACC meet record was also held by Virginia, and was set in 2023. It featured Gretchen Walsh, Kate Douglass, Lexi Cuomo, and Alex Walsh, and at the time, it was also a new NCAA record. Although this swim was less than a tenth off UVA’s own NCAA Record that they set in 2023 at NCAAs, the UVA women were actually faster at NCAAs last year; then, their time of 3:05.89 was just .05 off of the record.
Regardless, the quartet of Claire Curzan, Anna Moesch, Alex Walsh, and Gretchen Walsh, the same 4 swimmers who destroyed the NCAA record in the 400 medley relay last night, put on an exhilarating show to mark the 3rd fastest performance in history.

While Curzan wasn’t quite able to match Douglass’ lead off split, Moesch had a solid 46.80 leg that kept them even with the record. While Alex, who often splits in the 46 range, was 47 tonight, it was Gretchen’s split, the fastest rolling split ever, that got this relay squad close to the all-time record. Her 44.93 was nearly a full second faster than her own 45.85, which she anchored the 2023 team home in. Further, it was quicker than over 2 tenths faster than the 45.17 that she swam on last year’s NCAA winning relay.
Top 5 Fastest Relay Splits Of All Time
- Gretchen Walsh (2025 ACCs): 44.93
- Gretchen Walsh (2024 NCAAs): 45.17
- Gretchen Walsh (2023 Tenn. Invite): 45.18
- Maggie MacNeil (2023 SECs): 45.26
- Gretchen Walsh (2024 ACCs): 45.40
Incredibly, while G.Walsh just posted the fastest relay split ever, she has been faster off of a flat start: she owns a personal best and NCAA record of 44.83, a standard that she set at NCAAs last year. Tonight, Gretchen swam a time of 45.20 to win her 3rd individual ACC title of the meet.
After breaking the NCAA relay record in the 800 free relay on Day 1, the Virginia women now hold the NCAA relay record in all 5 relays. Their dominance in this event in particular however, is not to be understated: since taking the record from Cal for the first time in 2022, they broke the record twice more and have been under Cal’s previous record 6 times. They will have another chance to lower this record next month at NCAAs, which will take place from March 19-22.
