🔼 Pool Party. Thomas Heilman and Maximus Williamson, the top recruits in the Class of 2025, are "generational talents" who have the potential to transform the UVA men's program, head coach Todd DeSorbo said, and both have impressed since arriving on Grounds this year.

Landing both Williamson, who's from Texas, and Heilman, a U.S. Olympian who graduated from nearby Western Albemarle High School, was akin to “getting Kate Douglass and Alex Walsh in the same class instead of a year apart," DeSorbo said.

The top-ranked UVA women and the 13th-ranked UVA men are hosting dual meets against ACC rival North Carolina on Friday at the Aquatic & Fitness Center.
