INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Between three individual events and one American record relay, the Wolfpack men reached the podium twice, totaling five All-American and Honorable Mention All-American Awards on night two of the NCAA Championships.
The night was capped off with the 200 freestyle relay, in which NC State went on and beat the American record they set at the ACC Championships. The relay team of Noah Henderson, Luke Miller, Jerry Fox, and Quintin McCarty combined to go 1:14.13, dropping .31 from their previous record of 1:14.44
For the fourth time in his career, Arsenio Bustos is an All-American. He does so in the 200 IM for the second straight year after securing fourth place. Bustos reached the podium with a personal best and the second-fastest time in program history, clocking 1:39.83.
In prelims, Bustos finished first in his heat as Daniel Diehl made the B-final cut with a personal best of 1:41.84. Diehl would finish 16th in the B-final with a time of 1:43.60 for honorable mention All-American honors.
