ATLANTA – Redshirt senior Kayleigh Clark led the way for the No. 13/NR Florida State swimming and diving team on the opening day of the 2026 ACC Swimming and Diving Championships, placing fourth in the three-meter final at McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta.
Clark reached the final and earned her fourth-place finish in the first event of the seven-day conference championship meet. Day one featured the women's three-meter and men's one-meter events.
"It was a solid opening day," FSU head coach Neal Studd said. "Kayleigh competed well and was consistent throughout the competition. She improved her score in finals, which is exactly what you want to see at a championship meet."
Clark advanced to the three-meter final after scoring 296.85 in the prelims to sit in fourth place overall. She improved her score in the eight-diver final, posting a 300.15 to secure the fourth-place finish.
Sunday was the fifth time Clark reached an ACC final in her career as she posted her first finish inside the top five.
On the men's side, sophomore Hayden Schroeder came in 12th overall on one-meter. He finished with a score of 310.95 in prelims.
Florida State returns to action Monday at 12 p.m. ET as the ACC Championships continue with women's one-meter and men's three-meter.
All sessions will be streamed live on ACC Network Extra, and live results will be available throughout the week. A complete schedule and more information is available at TheACC.com.

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).
