GREENSBORO, N.C. – James Brady earned ACC Champion status on the men's three-meter board to open competition at the 2020 ACC Championships inside the Greensboro Aquatic Center on Wednesday, becoming the Pack men's first three-meter conference champion since 2000.
The NC State women's swimming team notched two second-place finishes in the opening day, including a school-record breaking 200-yard medley relay finish.
The women's 200-yard medley relay squad notched a second-place finish with a school-record time of 1:34.38. Katharine Berkoff opened the relay with a 24.05 split, followed by Sophie Hansson (26.21), Sirena Rowe (22.64) and Ky-lee Perry (21.48). Virginia opened the meet claiming the top honors in 1:34.27.
The time outpaced Elisa Hann, Hansson, Rowe and Perry's previous school record and ACC record time of 1:34.52.
The Pack followed up that performance with a second-place finish in the 800-yard freestyle relay, tying the school record set in 2017 with a 6:59.73 mark. Kate Moore (1:45.41), Kylee Alons (1:43.41), Berkoff (1:45.34) and Julia Poole (1:45.57) earned the podium finish for the team.
NC State's divers opened competition in the prelims, with the men in action on the three-meter board and the women on the one-meter board. James Brady advanced to Wednesday's final with a score of 350.05, which was good for a fifth-place prelim finish.
In the finals, Brady would solidify his first ACC individual championship with a 392.65 mark.
