Quoting the Coaches
Swimming
"It's a good start to our competition with Wisconsin," said head coach Braden Holloway. "There were a lot of great performances both in the pool and on the boards. Diving got started at 4:00 P.M. (ET), earlier than the swimming portion and James Brady had a dominant performance to get things rolling for us which was great to see.
We knew it would be a good battle with Wisconsin, they're a team we don't see a whole lot so it was nice to see some good hard-fought races. We're continuing to see new names step up and not just upperclassmen, we've got some freshmen stepping up.
Hannah Moore had a big day for us today getting two big wins and breaking a pool record; at the same time Julia Poole had a big day for us early on in the session. For Hannah, Julia and Ky-lee Perry to get three straight wins after our medley relay got out front, it started us off on a good note and set the tone for the day. We walked away with some good wins got our hand on the wall not just for first, but for second, third and fourth place finishes. I'm happy with where the women were and how they competed today. Hopefully we start off tomorrow morning the same way we did today, with intensity and passion.
I felt like our guys showed more range, we moved some guys around into some different events today but we had some guys who needed to swim some main events as we continue to go down the rest of our season.
Our relays went head to head and got us some chances to swim some newer events. Anton Ipsen's 1000 freestyle was a great performance and one of the best he's had in his career. It's hard to argue about the range and talent of Andreas Vazaios; two pool records within 40 minutes. That's impressive to do. Coleman Stewart had a big day for us as well and tomorrow we want to come in and continue to press and continue to compete and fine tune our races. We want to continue to learn how we can be better; we want to execute but we also want to learn and take that from what happens."
Diving
"It was an interesting contest," said diving coach Yahya Radman. "The women's meet was rough for both teams. I believe we are doing the right things to set us up for the end of the year. The men's meet was a thrill! James stepped up and finally clicked on springboard. I think it was a personal best and a zone cut. Both of us are very pleased that our plan is coming together."
Wolfpack Relays
NC State backed up with another dominant showing in the relays. With a time of 3:40.04 seconds the team of Elise Haan, Lindsay Morrow, Krista Duffield and Ky-lee Perry took first in the 400-yard medley relay.
The men were equally as successful as Hennessey Stuart, Daniel Graber, James Bretscher and Mark McGlaughlin also secured first in the 400 medley relay thanks to their 3:14.48 second finish.
The 200 freestyle relay was another bright for the Wolfpack; Elise Haan, Ky-lee Perry, Krista Duffield and Lexie Lupton finished first thanks to their 1:30.95 seconds finish while the quartet of Mark McGlaughlin, Jacob Molacek, Ryan Held and Tyler Rice won the men's side with a time of 1:20.25.
Top Individual Performances
Hannah Moore had another stellar outing for the Wolfpack as she took first in the 1000 freestyle and 200 butterfly thanks to finishes of 9:40.71 seconds (also a pool record) and 2:00.59 seconds. Anton Ipsen also showed why he's one of the most respected distance swimmers in the world as his time of 8:52.87 earned him first in the men's 1000 freestyle.
The 200 IM was another strong point for NC State with Julia Poole showing why she has fast become a rising star of collegiate swimming. She won the event with a time of 1:58.99 seconds and earned an NCAA 'B' standard qualifying time. Andreas Vazaios took first on the men's side finishing in 1:45.90 seconds, an NCAA 'B' cut and pool record. He also won the 200 butterfly, finishing in 1:45.25 seconds which set another pool record and earned another NCAA 'B' standard qualifying time.
Ky-lee Perry took first in the 50 freestyle in a time of 22.48, an NCAA 'B' standard qualifying time, while Giovanni Izzo won the men's 50 freestyle thanks to his 20.23 finish.
Returning to his native Midwest, the meet acted as a homecoming of sorts for Ryan Held and he did not disappoint as he won the 200 freestyle in a time of 1:36.22 seconds, which was an NCAA 'B' standard qualifying time. Jacob Molacek also stood tall in the 100 breaststroke as he took first finishing in 54.81, an NCAA 'B' standard qualifying time.
Backstroke continued to be another area NC State shone; Elise Haan won the women's 100 backstroke in an NCAA 'B' standard qualifying time of 53.47. Kathleen Moore also earned an NCAA 'B' cut as she finished third in a time of 54.65. Coleman Stewart won the men's 100 backstroke in 47.39, also an NCAA 'B' standard qualifying time.
