2018 INDOOR REWIND:
Last season the squad collected seven All-America citations at the NCAA Indoor Championships, earning the status in every event it competed in. Three of the 2019 indoor All-Americans return for the Pack this season.

The men's team finished third at the ACC Indoor Championships last season, its best finish since 2011. The women's sixth-place finish marked its best since 2015.

The men recorded seven first team all-conference honors by five individuals, which is the most male individuals to earn first-team accolades for the program since 2003 when the Pack collected nine at the ACC Championships. The women had four competitors earn first-team status, the most since 2014.

Of NC State's three 2019 ACC Indoor Champions, Ian Shanklin (5000m) is the sole returner.
