RING THING
This fall, the UVA women's swimming and diving team and
men's tennis program celebrated their 2023 NCAA cham-
pionships with separate, but impressive, ceremonies where
they received their national championships rings.
In March, the Virginia women's swimming and diving team
won its third consecutive NCAA team title. The Cavaliers
finished with 11 total wins, sweeping all five relay races and
adding six individual NCAA titles. UVA became just the fourth
program to win all five relays at the NCAA Championships.
Fourth-year Kate Douglass led Virginia with three individual
wins, capturing the 200-yard individual medley, 100-yard
butterfly and 200-yard breaststroke, all in NCAA, American
and U.S. Open record times.
Ranked No. 5, the Virginia men's tennis team won its sec-
ond straight NCAA title, defeating Ohio State in the finals. It
was the program's sixth overall national championship. Chris
Rodesch was named the tournament MVP.
