Moesch’s split was huge for Virginia as they were 5th heading into the final exchange. Michigan led with a 5:04.64 at the final exchange while Virginia touched in a 5:06.18 and a 200 to go. Moesch’s final 50 split of a 25.04 was huge as no one else in the field was under 26 seconds.

Moesch will look to make history later this week as she is the top seed in the individual 200 free as she swam a 1:39.72 at last month’s ACC Championships. That stood as the #3 performance all-time until tonight when Liberty Clark of Indiana led the Hoosiers off in a 1:39.70. The two will look to face off in the event tomorrow night.
