Her?

And now a 2021 commitment from Arsenio Bustos, a top 25 male swimmer from Connecticut (see the SwimSwam page for the lady commitment).

These are going to be really nice additions to our 2021 class. Welcome to the Wolfpack family, young swimmers!

Can't wait, I'll be there cheering on the Pack

We're bringing 5 or 6

Coach H spoke at Raleigh Sports Club this past Wed. Did an excellent job. Really shows his passion for all things NC State.

Younger squad this season. Lost 12 swimmers to graduation and 10 were All American and 4 National Champs

Squad has lead ACC academically for last 2 seasons

Talked about developing swimmers. Program has great reputation with European swimmers looking to make Olympic squad of home country.

Break ground on new outdoor pool next May. Doing outdoor for purely economical reasons. Will have diving platforms

Was against off campus facility based on his experience at Va Tech who has off campus facility. Scheduling and access was problematic.

Started at Univ of the South with bare bones budget and staff with no scholarships. Taught him a lot about relationships.

Only have 9 scholarships for 30 men swimmers; 14 scholarships for 33 women swimmers.

Hard to realize he has been at State for 9 seasons.

What an asset this guy is. He has built a national top 5 program with one pool built in the early 1960s, another built in the 1980's as a recreational pool for the general student body, and no on-campus diving facilities. It is refreshing to hear a coach that embodies the truism that elite talent will be attracted to successful coaches in spite of the physical accouterments of the program.

He brought with him 2-time defending NCAA Champion (200-meter butterfly) Andreas Vazaios, who basically said that--he didn't care about the flashy locker rooms or fancy pools--it was about a coach that would help him reach his goals.

Won easily.

Another commitment for the women tonight too

The NC State men's and women's swimming and diving teams kicked off the 2019-20 season by cruising to a sweep over the visiting South Carolina Gamecocks on Friday evening.

Swimming at home at the Casey Aquatic Center, the seventh-ranked Wolfpack women outscored South Carolina 197-100 in their first dual meet of the season. The No. 3 Pack men took a 194-104 season-opening victory.

Between the two squads, NC State posted the best times/highest scores in 26 of the 32 events contested. The Wolfpack swept the podium a total of 11 times on Friday night, as both teams will start the season with 1-0 records in head-to-head matchups

UP NEXT:
NC State will head to Lexington, Ky., from Nov. 7-8 for a quad meet against Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas
