RALEIGH, N.C. (Nov. 5) - The NC State men and women swimming squads split their in-conference meet against Maryland on Friday evening at the Willis Casey Aquatics Center.

For the NC State men, Andy Johnson continued his diving brilliance as he won on both the one and three-meter boards. Braden Holloway (1:51.95), Richard Culberson (1:53.42) and Pat Marrow (1:53.57) came in first, second and third, respectively, in the 200 backstroke to help turn the meet in the Pack's favor.
The Maryland men had an impressive 100 freestyle race as Drew Childs (45.17) and Aaron Peterson (45.81) came in first and second to keep the Terps close.
The NC State women got a huge performance from Mandy Horn. She won both the 200 freestyle (1:51.78) and the 100 freestyle (52.70). Shelly Cavaliere (one-meter) and Erin Bailey (three-meter) also took home top totals on the diving boards.
