Seminole Sunday Sauce — Feb. 22, 2026: FSU Men’s Swimming and Diving Wins Two Golds at ACC Championships
Florida State was unable to capture a team title at the ACC Swimming and Diving Championships, but there were some strong performances over the 7-day event in Atlanta. FSU swimmers and divers won two total ACC golds.
The first came on Tuesday morning as FSU took home ACC gold in the men’s 200-yard medley relay. Tommaso Baravelli, Max Wilson, Sam Bork and Michel Arkhangelsky combined for the title. Arkhangelsky, Wilson, Baravelli and Logan Robinson combined for silver in the 400-yard medley relay.
On Friday night, Robinson claimed gold for FSU in the men’s 200-yard butterfly while setting a program record for fastest time in the event. In the final event of the championships on Saturday night, Arkhangelsky, Wilson, Bork and Gustav Olsson took silver in the 400-yard men’s freestyle relay. As a team, the FSU men finished in sixth place.
The FSU women settled for a 10th-place finish. Kayleigh Clark had the best finish for the FSU women, taking home ACC bronze in women’s platform diving.
California (men’s) and Virginia (women’s) won the ACC team titles in Atlanta. FSU will return to Georgia for the Bulldog Invitational Last Chance in its final event before NCAA competition.
