CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference continues to dominate the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Over the first half of the games, the ACC leads all conferences throughout the NCAA and would rank second among all countries, trailing just the United States.
 
Over the course of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, ACC student-athletes have combined to win 58 medals, including 20 gold, 22 silver and 16 bronze. Stanford leads all NCAA institutions with 22 total medals, while Virginia ranks second with 13 and California is tied for third with eight. Eight ACC member institutions have claimed at least one medal while 17 of the ACC’s 18 members have a participating representative at the Olympic Games.
 
Throughout the weekend, the ACC continued to dominate the La-Defense Arena pool. Swimmers from ACC member institutions contributed to two separate world records over the weekend, including the women’s 4x100-meter medley relay and the mixed 4x100-meter medley relay. The women’s medley relay featured Stanford’s Torri Huske and Regan Smith alongside Virginia’s Gretchen Walsh. Huske and Walsh also swam on the mixed medley relay team and teamed with Cal’s Ryan Murphy.
 
In addition to winning gold medals in the pair of medley relays, Stanford alum Katie Ledecky won her ninth career gold medal in the women’s 800-meter freestyle, moving into a tie for second place for the most gold medals ever by an American athlete.
 
On the track, Stanford’s Grant Fisher became just the second American to medal in the 10,000-meter run in the past 60 years.
