Virginia swimming hosts Duke in the season's first dual meet

By Kate Lipper | November 1, 2002

The Virginia swimming program faces ACC rival Duke in their home pool tomorrow in what will be its first conference dual meet of the season.

Last year, an outstanding Virginia men's swimming team (8-2, 5-0 ACC) completed its season with their fourth-consecutive first-place finish at the ACC Championships and a national 11th-place finish at the NCAA Tournament, the highest placement in school history. This season, 22 letter winners return for the men, including eight All-Americans.
