RALEIGH – The NC State men's and women's swimming and diving teams swept their second meet in as many days as they closed out their home slate against Duke on Saturday at the Willis R. Casey Aquatic Center.
The Wolfpack men outscored the Blue Devils 191-104, and the women defeated Duke 181-116. NC State got out to a quick start, capturing first-place honors in the first 12 events of the meet.
The Pack swept a total of nine events on the day: men's 1000-yard freestyle, women's 1000-yard freestyle, men's 200-yard freestyle, men's 200-yard butterfly, men's 200-yard backstroke, women's 200-yard backstroke, men's 500-yard freestyle, men's 100-yard butterfly and the women's 400-yard individual medley.
Individually, NC State had six multi-event winners: James Brady, Makayla Sargent, Julia Poole, Eric Knowles, Coleman Stewart, and Rafal Kusto. Sargent collected three titles on the day.
MEET HIGHLIGHTS:
The NC State men swept both distance freestyle events. Knowles (9:03.91) took top honors in the 1000-yard freestyle, and Ross Dant took the top honor in the 500-yard freestyle (4:27.82). The women joined in the 1,000-yard freestyle sweep as Makayla Sargent (9:50.14) led the way for the Pack. Mackenzie Glover (10:08.37) and Abby Kriegler (10:15.04) rounded out the event for the team.
In the 200-yard backstroke, the men's and women's teams were the top-three finishers in both events. Emma Muzzy (1:56.77) and Jacob Johnson (1:47.22) earned first place in the event.
The women concluded the individual events with an impressive sweep of the 400-yard individual medley. Sargent touched the wall in 4:12.10, with teammates Muzzy (4:17.36) and Jessica Horomanski (4:24.53) finishing the sweep.
Madeline Kline and Brady wrapped up their home diving careers with first-place finishes at the Willis R. Casey Aquatic Center. With a 287.70 mark, Kline claimed the top spot on the three-meter board. Brady swept the diving events, posting scores of 327.23 and 348.53 on the one-meter and three-meter boards respectively.
QUOTES FROM THE COACHES:
"Today was a celebration for our seniors and their careers with us, but it's tough to say goodbye," said head swimming coach Braden Holloway. "It's a tough day to know that I'm not going to have them anymore, but I'm proud of them. They are leaving this program better than where they found it, and they are great individuals. It's happy, but it's tough."
"There was some good stuff, there was some ugly, stuff and there was some sneaky stuff, but I supposed at the end of the day a win is a win, no matter how you get it," said head coach Yahya Radman. "I'm really pleased to see how some of our younger kids stepped up when they needed to, but there is also some more work that needs to be done for this homestretch. We now have four weeks to prepare our lists, and set our mental game right. It was a very emotional day to see the class that I recruited for the first time dive in their final home meet."
UP NEXT:
The No. 6/6 NC State swimming and diving teams head to Charlottesville, Va., to take on No.15/3 Virginia on Friday, Jan. 24 at 4 p.m.
