Grace Oglesby Named ACC Swimmer of the Week

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Following a career weekend at the IU Invitational, University of Louisville junior Grace Oglesby has been selected as the ACC Swimmer of the Week, which was announced Monday by the Atlantic Coast Conference office.

Oglesby swept the butterfly events at the IU Invitational, earning a pair of NCAA A cuts with lifetime bests in both the 100 and 200 fly. She won the 100 fly in a time of 50.75, which is the third-fastest time in the nation so far this season.

In the 200 fly, Oglesby won by over three seconds and eclipsed her own personal best time by a half-second. She is one of just three swimmers in the nation who have secured an NCAA A cut in the event and currently holds the No. 2 time with a 1:52.64.

The Goshen, Ky. native was also instrumental in the Cardinals' 200 and 400 medley relays. She posted the top butterfly splits in the entire field with a 23.01 in the 200 medley and 51.27 in the 400 medley relay. Louisville's 200 medley relay finished third with a 1:36.31, while the 400 medley relay took first by nearly a full second in a time of 3:30.55. Both relays earned NCAA automatic qualifying times.

Oglesby also swam the 200 IM, placing fourth with an NCAA B cut time of 1:57.32. In total, she scored 90 individual points to help the No. 8 Cardinals to a second place finish at the IU Invitational.

This marks the first ACC weekly honor of Oglesby's career and the fourth straight week a Louisville swimmer or diver has been selected for the award.
