Florida State enters the week looking to build on a strong 2025 ACC Championships performance that featured 21 top-eight finishes, multiple school records and the program’s first ACC title since 2020, as then-freshman Michel Arkhangelsky took gold in the 100 backstroke. Both the Seminole men and women placed seventh overall in a highly competitive conference field.

 

Following the ACC Championships is the Bulldog Invitational Last Chance Meet from February 28-March 1 and the NCAA Zone Diving Championships from March 6-11. The NCAA Championships are set for March 18-21 (women) and March 25-28 (men).
