The four-day championship meet will feature preliminaries at 10 a.m. and finals at 6 p.m. each day, with women’s and men’s diving competitions also scheduled for each day. Finals sessions on Tuesday through Thursday will be available on ACC Network Extra.
Season Rewind
The Wolfpack will head into the championship with a 3-0 conference record. In its first road dual of the season, NC State women’s program went head-to-head with the Duke Blue Devils. The team walked away with wins in 12 of 16 events and nine pool records en route to its victory. In January, NC State earned back-to-back wins at home, defeating North Carolina and Virginia on consecutive days. The Wolfpack kicked off the weekend by topping the Tar Heels in dominate fashion, winning 13 of 16 events. The next day, the team defeated the defending ACC Champion, the Virginia Cavaliers, with just a six-point margin.
The team was consistently ranked among the top-10 nationally throughout the season, peaking at No. 4.
Scouting the Competition
NC State is the top-ranked ACC program in the latest CSCAA poll, coming in at No. 7. Trailing close behind is Virginia, taking the No. 8 rank, while Louisville sits at No. 10.
Duke, North Carolina and Notre Dame complete the list of schools that are featured among the rankings, earning the No. 18, No. 23 and No. T24 ranks, respectively. Florida State and Virginia Tech both received votes in the coaches’ poll.

The team captured three event titles, winning the 200 and 400 freestyle relays and one-meter diving.
Over four days of competition, 17 school records were broken and the Pack earned podium finishes in 15 events.

Not that I think it’s a bad idea but any idea why this meet is being run Monday to Thursday?
The meet recently moved venue and had to take what dates were available.
All these NC State trolls are so funny to read.
The stain is almost gone
Hannah Moore is cool:)
The only thing that’s going to be better than nc state beating uva is watching those crazy coaches jump around and yell like monkeys. Although I’m scared for the bleachers, trashcans, and clipboards they beat to a pulp at these meets when they get mad. My daughter is scared for her life 24/7
Yell like monkeys… what do you call your daughter?
Swimswam did not write this article, they simply posted it which is a service to the swimming community. I’m sure all acc sports information departments made similar releases but didn’t think to send it to swimswam. Just another thing NCSU does better than UVA, Duke, Louisville, etc.
Fascinating point! I guess the Wild Life and Fisheries major includes a basic email course as well! Good for Nc State! #STATEMENT #WhatsYourMavisBeaconTypingSchoolScore #RedRevolution #EmailsAreCool #SwimSwimArticlePostingMakesThemAGoodSchool
Are people of the present time able to talk or write without ###############? 😯
I applaud you’re ignorance and stupidity. I will have you know that the Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology degree is a well renowned and is one of the top ranked programs in the US. Did you know that 27,000 trees are felled each day for toilet paper? or that paper can only be recycled 6 times before the fibers are too weak to hold together? Or that elephants are the only animal with chins? I bet you feel dumb now. #STATEment

Elise Haan better watch her back because Hellen Moffit is coming for her!!
What is with all the hate? Do people not like NC State because they we know we are better than them? Is America not a place where greatness is admired? You could say NC State is the Tom Brady of college swimming. #STATEment
We know they know we better than everyone. #STATEment
