The final morning session of the 2016 Men’s ACC Swimming and Diving Championships started off fast. NC State’s Simonas Bilis broke his own 100 free conference record by .01 and was under his old meet record he set last year. Virginia Tech’s Brandon Fiala broke the meet record in the 200 breast set in 2014, and isn’t too far off the conference record.
NC State’s Hennessey Stuart also broke the pool record in the 200 back, and is getting closer to his own ACC meet and conference record.
