2026 Atlantic Coast Conference Championships

Stanford sophomore Addison Sauickie briefly stopped mid-race in the 500 free prelims on Wednesday morning at the ACC Championships. She eventually finished her swim, but had to be helped out of the pool.

Sauickie’s finishing time was 5:01.12, about nine second off her seed time. That put her 52nd out of 57 finishers.

After coming out of high school with a best time of 4:46, Sauickie had a big breakout swim in this 500 free as a freshman mid-season last year. She swam 4:41.85 at Stanford’s mid-season invitational in November 2024. She hasn’t been below 4:49 since then.

The Cardinals hold the lead after day 3 (day 1 of swimming) with 261 points. That puts them 34 ahead of Pitt and 54 ahead of Cal, with the diverless defending champions from Virginia lurking in 11th with 120 points.

Sauickie has remaining entries in the 200 free (38th seed), 200 fly (14th seed), and 100 free (52nd seed).

A native of Sarasota, Florida and a member of the Sarasota Sharks, one of the country’s top distance programs for junior swimmers, Sauickie arrived at Stanford as a Junior National Team member. She won two gold medals at the 2023 World Junior Swimming Championships in the 200 free and 800 free relay, along with a silver in the 400 free relay and bronze in the 400 free.

SwimSwam has reached out to Stanford for more information on Sauickie’s distressed swim.
