RALEIGH, N.C. (July 26) - Scott Hammond has resigned from his position as head swimming coach at NC State University, effective August 1, 2000.

Hammond, a 1976 NC State graduate, returned to Raleigh as the Wolfpack's head coach in the fall of 1995 after 10 years as head coach at Ohio University. Hammond compiled a five-year record of 49-16 with the NC State men's team, and a 25-34 mark with the Pack women. Hammond said he has no immediate plans to return to coaching.

"I will be taking some time away from coaching to spend time with my children," Hammond said. "I wish my alma mater nothing but the best and will follow the program with great loyalty."

Hammond will conclude his coaching responsibilities at the United States Olympic Trials in Indianapolis, Indiana, with his two All-American swimmers, Greg Solt and Braden Holloway.
