Austin Hampton finished third in the 1-meter boards to earn All-ACC honors as well as both diving squads competed this week in Chapel Hill at the men's diving championships in conjunction with the women's championships. Anna Linkenauger turned in the third-best time in NC State history in the 400 IM with a NCAA 'B' cut time of 4:22.46 as NC State is in 10th place after the third day of competition at the ACC Championships.
Linkenauger won the consolation final with her top-time, and Kathryn Creech turned in a 4:28.69, the eighth best performance in school history in the 400 IM.
Victoria Niemeyer swam a personal best time of 56.24, tied for the fastest time in the league, in the 100 fly to lead a trio of swimmers in the bonus consolation final. Martha Marino was close behind with a time of 56.77 and Patrice Dason was third with a 56.79.
Kerry Whitson, who was All-ACC after a third place finish in the 200 freestyle last season, turned in another solid time in the event with a season-best 1:50.87.
Marino also won the bonus consolation final in the 100 breaststroke with a 1:06.07, the fastest Wolfpack time on the season and a personal-best.
