UVa Announces Football Series with Boise State Virginia Athletics Media Relations Official Releases The Virginia men's swimming and diving program captured its sixth consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference Championship on Saturday night at the Greensboro Aquatic Center in Greensboro, N.C. It is the Cavaliers’ 14th ACC title in the last 15 years. UVa finished with 759.5 points, followed by Virginia Tech (597), North Carolina (549), Florida State (534), NC State (481), Georgia Tech (269.5), Duke (268), Boston College (120) and Miami (13 – diving only). "This one feels really good mainly because of the chemistry our guys have developed over the last 365 days," UVa coach Mark Bernardino said. "They're a very special team to me. I can't say enough about their character and work ethic; they came to practice every day with a positive attitude. They're not a team of superstars, they are just a flat-out awesome team. We pride ourselves on being a consistently good team. Our swimmers work hard every day to make each other better and that's makes a team with strong, strong depth. Teams can come at us in waves, but we can respond because of our depth and character." Virginia becomes the first ACC school to win both the men's and women's swimming and diving titles six consecutive years. With this title, Bernardino now has 27 ACC Championships, passing Frank Comfort of North Carolina for most ACC swimming and diving championships. This is also Bernardino's 16th men's title, which passes Don Easterling of NC State for the most ACC men's swimming and diving crowns. He also has 11 women's titles, which is second-most in the conference. Bernardino, who is in his 35th year at Virginia as head coach, now sits in fourth place in ACC history for coaching titles in any sport, behind only track and field/cross country coaches Dennis Craddock (40 for UNC and Virginia), Rollie Geiger (40 for NC State) and Jim Kehoe (38 for Maryland).

This Week In Recruiting With Chris Horne Football Recruiting No question, the big news last week was Quin Blanding's verbal commitment to the University of Virginia. In case you missed it, check out Sabre TV on the right side of the home page for the 5-star junior safety's press conference. Also check out the "Sabre Scoop" feature linked below for more on the Bayside star and info on UVa class of 2013 recruits Taquan Mizzell (RB, Bayside) and Corwin Cutler (QB, Ocean Lakes). This week, I'll take a look ahead to what other prospects will be coming out of Bayside High School in the coming years. The school has developed into quite a pipeline for UVa. Mizzell arrives in Charlottesville later this year, and he'll join former Marlins standouts Henry Coley, Tra Nicholson, and Anthony Cooper. Also this week, I'll check in with a pair of top in-state juniors including Chancellor (Fredericksburg, VA) offensive tackle Steven Moss and Thomas Dale (Chester, VA) safety CJ Reavis. Both prospects were in attendance for the Duke/UVa basketball game last Thursday. I'll have reaction from those two on that experience as well as the Blanding commitment. Basketball Recruiting UVa-bound senior point guard Devon Hall guided Cape Henry Collegiate (Virginia Beach, VA) to the Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools regular season title and postseason tournament championship. The Dolphins' run for a second consecutive state championship was halted by Bishop O'Connell last week in the VISAA, Division 1 state semifinals. This week, I hope to catch up with Hall for a look back on an excellent career at Cape Henry and a look ahead to his freshman season at the University of Virginia. Crespi (Encino, CA) fell short in its bid for a CIF Southern Section Division 4-AA title, losing in the semifinals to Serra. UVa-bound senior point guard London Perrantes and the Celts (22-9) next meet LACES High School in the opening round of the state playoffs this Wednesday. Brunswick (Lawrenceville, VA), which features UVa-bound junior wing guard/wing forward B.J. Stith, escaped the first round of the VHSL AA Division 3 playoffs with a 24-22 win over Loudoun Valley. The Bulldogs take on Fort Defiance in the semifinals this Tuesday night. The winner meets the winner of Bruton/Spotswood in the state championship on Saturday at 1 p.m. at VCU's Siegel Center in Richmond.

Issue No. 501 - June 20, 2011
Kostelac Sweeps ACC Freshman of the Year Honors Virginia's Anthony Kostelac has been named the 2011 ACC Men's Outdoor Track and Field Freshman of the Year, as voted on by the league's 12 head coaches and announced Friday by the conference office. Kostelac, the 2011 ACC Men's Indoor Track and Field Freshman of the Year, becomes the third-straight Cavalier to earn the league's top rookie honor, as sophomore NCAA Champion Robby Andrews earned the accolade last year and junior All-American Morgane Gay was tabbed the women's freshman of the year during the 2009 outdoor season. In addition, Kostelac is the fifth student-athlete in league history to claim the awards for both the indoor and outdoor seasons, and the second Cavalier to do so. Andrews was tagged the top rookie during both seasons last year. Read SabreMail No. 501 here. |
