GREENSBORO, N.C. – After putting together strong performances in the Wolfpack's season-opening meet, NC State senior Andreas Vazaios was named the ACC Men's Swimmer of the Week, as announced by the league office Monday.
Vazaios helped lead the Wolfpack men to a 198.5-99.5 victory in Friday's meet at South Carolina. The reigning ACC Men's Swimmer of the Year took first place in all three of his individual events and captured a top finish as part of the 400 freestyle relay team on the way to finishing the meet as the squad's top scorer.
A native of Athens, Greece, Vazaios finished as the top swimmer in the 200 backstroke (1:47.36), 200 freestyle (1:37.63) and the 200 individual medley (1:46.65). His individual medley time currently ranks No. 1 in the nation through the opening weeks of the 2018-19 season and is good for an NCAA B cut.
Vazaios also anchored NC State's winning 400 freestyle relay team, which took first place with a time of 3:01.29.
The entire Wolfpack squad will return to action this weekend as NC State makes the short trip to Durham, N.C. for an ACC matchup against Duke. The meet against the Blue Devils is set for Saturday at 11 a.m.
