Of course, this time it's intentional. The women's swimming & diving team, members of which were last seen dashing through the snow, host the ACC championships today through Saturday at Koury Natatorium. The Heels have only two losses, one to ACC favorites Virginia and a second to top-ranked Georgia. They enter the championships with the top-seed swimmers in the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke (sophomores Katie Keel and Laura Moriarty, respectively) and the 200-yard individual medley, freshman Maria Pesacreta. They also have the top two divers from three meters, Jenna Moore and Chay Malvasio, and the ACC record holder in the 500-yard freestyle, Katura Harvey.

Carolina is ranked fifteenth in the country as of the last poll. And yes, I know the above headline only applies to the divers and the swimmers, but do you think I was going to pass it up for the sake of accuracy?

North Carolina defeated Duke in bothe men and women's swimming and diving on Wednesday, by scores of 149-88 and 145 to 89, respectively. There's no sport on the UNC campus I know less about than swimming and diving, so if anyone has any commentary on whether these were impressive victories or not, or the outlooks for the teams in these sports, I'd love to hear it. If nothing else, the linked story has pictures of two-event winner Philip Owen (but not alas, Kristen Oxford, who accomplished the same feat) in a small bathing suit, if you're intereted in that sort of thing.

The wins are worth a Carlyle point apiece (for men's and women's, not swimming and diving) bringing the overall score to 4.5 to 3.5, Duke. The next event closes out the fall season, with the two teams meeting to end their seasons of football futility.
