Virginia swimmers won both the men's and women's ACC Swimming and Diving Performer of the Week awards. Fran Crippen won the men's award, while junior Katie Gordon took home the award for the women. Both swimmers won for their performances at the Boliermaker Challenge.
Gordon posted three NCAA "B" qualifying times at the meet. She posted those marks in the 400-yard individual medley (4:19.75), the 500 freestyle (4:51.08) and the 200 backstroke (2:01.59).
