BACK WITH THE PACK
- Overall, 19Â members of the Pack with All-American status in at least one individual or relay event are back in Raleigh - 7Â women and 12 men.
- Both reigning National Champions of the 100-yard backstroke return to the squad this year. Katharine Berkoff's 48.74 performance at the 2022 NCAA Championships marked as an American, NCAA, Conference, and Program record-breaking swim and stands as her fourth National Championship title. Kacper Stokowski went 44.04 just a week later at the men's meet to edge out a tight field and secure the first national title of his career.
- The Pack men bring back all but two of last year's scorers from the 2022 ACC Championships, where the squad brought home the team championship title. That group includes both individual and relay conference titles from David Curtiss (50 free), Ross Dant (500 free), Noah Henderson (400 free relay), Sam Hoover (800 free relay, 400 medley relay), Nyls Korstanje (400 medley relay), Luke Miller (200 free, 800 free relay, 400 free relay), Bartosz Piszczorowicz (400 free relay), Kacper Stokowski (100 back, 400 medley relay), and Hunter Tapp (800 free relay, 400 free relay).
- The Wolfpack women return 13 of the squad's 17 individual and relay scorers at the 2022 ACC Championships, where the team finished 2nd. Eight individual and relay scorers from last year's fifth-place NCAA Championship team remain in Raleigh and look to build upon the squad's momentum with this year's freshmen class.

SCOUTING TENNESSEE
