🔼 We Meet Again! In the expanded ACC, longstanding rivalries can lie dormant for several years. Virginia football, for example, hasn’t played Georgia Tech or Miami since 2023 and won’t face either of those teams again until next year.
But then there’s UVA’s series with Duke. The longtime ACC members are about meet for the third time in 11 months.

🔼 Special at Special Teams! Virginia punter Daniel Sparks has been named a Midseason All-American by On3!
🔼 The Best In The Sport! The overflow crowd spilled out of the Aquatic & Fitness Center on the Carl Smith Way side, where a set of seven windows provided an extra 50 or so fans the opportunity to be starstruck.
It was 11 a.m. on a Friday, and Katie Ledecky, the most decorated U.S. female Olympian in history, was competing in the University of Virginia’s pool.
Charlottesville resident Jeff Tang, a Darden School of Business alumnus, was among those trying to catch a peek from the outside. As he watched Ledecky swim in the Short Course Meters World Pro Am, he also recorded his children, 11-year-old Sage and 8-year-old Sloane, soaking in the experience.
🔼 Hoos In The League! Virginia men’s basketball alums are all over the NBA this season!
🔼 Swim Stars! Virginia swimmers Katie Grimes and David King have each been named ACC Swimmers of the Week!
Grimes won two events in Saturday’s dual meet against Florida. Her time of 9:25.49 in the 1000 Free is more than five seconds faster than the previous best time in the NCAA this season. Her 400 IM time (4:03.27) leads the NCAA this season by over seven seconds. King also won two events. His mark of 1:32.31 set an AFC Pool Record and ranks second in the NCAA this season. He also won the 200 Back (1:39.57).
