Wolfpack to Compete at TYR Pro Swim Series
1/10/2018 8:31:00 AM | Swimming
RALEIGH, N.C. – The No. 3/14 NC State men's & women's swimming & diving team is set to compete at the TYR Pro Swim Series from Jan. 11-14 in Austin, Texas, inside the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swim Center.
The meet is contested in LCM with daily prelims beginning at 10:00 a.m. (ET) and finals at 7:00 p.m. (ET). Live action of the finals can be viewed via the NBC Sports APP on Jan. 11, on the NBC Sports Network Jan. 12 and the Olympic Channel Jan. 13. A live webcast of the prelims will be provided by usaswimming.org.
"We are ready to begin the new year with our meet down in Austin," said head coach Braden Holloway. "With training camp over and classes beginning, this is a great way to test where we are as a team. With this format being LCM, it allows our team to see where they are on the international level. This is mainly a men's trip as our women had their own trip to California back in the fall. It will be good just competing again."
