RALEIGH, N.C. – Two NC State men's swimming and diving team members were recognized by the ACC league office Tuesday for their weekend performances in the dual meet win over UNC Wilmington. Noah Henderson was honored as the ACC Men's Swimmer of the Week, while Renato Calderaro was named the ACC Men's Diver of the Week.
The Wolfpack has now won back-to-back ACC Swimmer of the Week awards and their fourth overall, the most of any ACC program this year. Henderson becomes the third different swimmer to win the award this season, joining Luke Miller and Kacper Stokowski.
Henderson helped guide No. 3 NC State to a victory in its senior day meet. The Gibsonville, North Carolina, native broke his own pool record, which he shared, in the 50 free with a time of 19.13 to take first place and earn an NCAA B cut time. He was also part of two first-place relay teams in the 200 medley relay and the 200 free relay. In the 200 medley, Henderson brought home the win in the final leg with an 18.72 split, giving the Wolfpack a finish time of 1:23.94. The fifth year then led off the 200 free relay with a split of 19.29, pacing NC State to a first-place finish at 1:16.94.
Calderaro becomes the Wolfpack's first diver this season to take home diver of the week honors after setting two program records against UNC Wilmington.
The sophomore notched two first-place finishes with a pair of dives that set program records and qualified as NCAA zone scores. In the 1-meter, the Italian scored a 409.50, over 35 points higher than his entry score. In the 3-meter, he posted a 433.88, which was 25 points higher than the previous school record.
