PACK IN THE POLLS

- The Wolfpack women have maintained their spot in the rankings thus far this season with their No. 4 national ranking and No. 2 spot in the ACC.
- The No. 5 Pack men sit in the fifth spot overall, but hold strong as the highest-ranked team in the conference.
MEET NOTEBOOK
- The Wolfpack's Saturday morning matchup marks its return to dual meet action after a seven week hiatus from collegiate swimming competition following the NC State Invitational held in November. NC State's divers represented the Pack at the Georgia Diving Invitational earlier in the month.
- The meet marks the second matchup of the season between the two ACC rivals. At the NC State Invitational, the NC State men scored 1829.5 points to Duke's 641.5, while the Wolfpack women's 2189.5 point total topped the Blue Devils' 1,156 points.
- Under the leadership of head coach Braden Holloway, the Wolfpack remain undefeated over the Blue Devils with the most recent losses being back in 2004 (men) and 2008 (women), respectively.

SCOUTING DUKE
- The meet marks the Blue Devils' first competition of the new year and the first after the passing of head coach Dan Colella. A moment of silence will be held before the start of the meet to honor his legacy.
- The Duke men have a 2-2 dual meet record for the season, while the women remain undefeated with a 4-meet winning streak.
- Duke finished fifth (women) and tenth (men) at the 2022 ACC Championships last February. December's College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) poll has the women's squad ranked 22nd, with the men not ranked.
