About the Cards
The 2021-22 season saw the Cardinals continue to collect honors and excel in the pool as well as the classroom. The men finished second in the ACC Championship and the women were third. The women finished sixth at the NCAA Championship and the men were 12^th. Both teams were named as CSCAA Scholar All-American Teams. With the NCAA granting an extra year of competition to the sports which were impacted by the pandemic, Nick Albiero and Evgenii Somov had the unique opportunity to win gold medals in their signature events for five straight years: Albiero in the 200 butterfly and Somov in the 100 breast. Another super senior, Daniel Sos, became the first Cardinal to ever win the grueling 400 Individual Medley at ACCs. Arthur Albiero was named as on the of the 100 Greatest College Coaches of the Past 100 Years by the CSCAA and former Cardinals Mallory Comerford and Kelsi Worrell were named as two of the top college 100 swimmers of the century. In all, the Cardinals won four gold medals, six silver medals and 9 bronze at ACCs. At NCAAs, the Cardinal men had seven All-American swims and two Honorable Mention All-American swims. For the women at NCAAs, the Cards had seven All-American swims and 10 Honorable Mention All-American performances. To cap off a stellar career, Nick Albiero was named ACC Swimmer of the Year and ACC Scholar Athlete of the Year.
