COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - USA Swimming announced Monday evening that NC State Wolfpack Assistant Coach Stefani Wendelschaefer has been selected to join the coaching staff for the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships, which will be held August 10-15 in Irvine, California.
The Pan Pacific Championships feature four of the world's premier swimming nations including the United States, Australia, Japan, and Canada. The competition is held every four years and rotates among the four participating countries.
Wendelschaefer earns the appointment after helping guide Wolfpack breaststroker Eneli Jefimova to her first ACC Championship title and NCAA Championship in the 100 breaststroke, along with numerous postseason gold-medal performances. She is one of eight coaches selected by Team USA Head Coach Bob Bowman to represent the United States at this year's Pan Pacific Championships.
