Complete domination. Mismatch from the get go.

NC State began the 2021-2022 season by cruising past the Tar Heels on the road at UNC's Triple Distance Meet Wednesday evening.

In the midweek meet that featured a unique lineup of events, the Wolfpack proved its absolute domination by swimming the fastest time in all but five of the 40 events contested.

The Wolfpack women defeated the Tar Heels 220-178, and the Pack men rounded out the night with a 231.59-169 victory over UNC.

In total, the Pack swept the 1-2-3 spots in eight total races, and eleven members of the squad picked up multiple top finishes.

INDIVIDUAL HIGHLIGHTS:
The Wolfpack distance squad was on fire for the evening, snagging the top four spots in the men's 600 and men and women's 400-yard freestyle races.

On the men's side, NC State was led by Ross Dant, as he claimed the top spot in the 400 (3:30.28) and 600-yard (5:18.88) freestyle events. He was followed by Will Gallant, James Plage and Eric Knowles in both events.

The women's 400-yard freestyle was highlighted by Brooke Travis grabbing the top spot with a time of 3:53.68, followed by Yara Hierath (3:54.89), Kay Foley (3:59.01), and Kenna Smallegange (4:00.26).

Sophomore Abby Arens picked up several first place touches in the butterfly events by winning the 50 (24.45), 100 (53.07), and 150 (1:24.24), while junior Katharine Berkoff grabbed the top spots in the 50 (24.56) and 100-yard (52.51) backstrokes.

Freshman Annabel Crush earned her first collegiate top finish in the 300-yard IM.

Nyls Korstanje led the way in the men's 50 and 100-yard freestyles by finishing with times of 19.73 and 44.04, while teammate and fellow Olympian Kacper Stokowski secured his hand on the wall first in the 50 (21.79) and 100-yard (47.15) backstrokes.

Noah Henderson picked up top spots in the 50, 100, and 150-yard butterfly events with speedy times of 21.49, 47.03, and 1:16.44, respectively.

RELAY HIGHLIGHTS:
Wolfpack relays were back in action highlighted by the men's squad of Stokowski, Rafal Kusto, Giovanni Izzo and rookie David Curtiss taking the 200-yard medley with a time of 1:26.60. The Wolfpack women brought home a first place finish with a time of 1:38.07 in the 200 medley by the crew of Berkoff, Sophie Hansson, Kylee Alons and Heather MacCausland.

DIVING HIGHLIGHTS:
Divers Helene Synnott, Ashton Zuburg, Bayne Bennett and Peter Edin also opened their season with competition in both one-meter and three-meter. The evening marked Coach Wes Mattice's first meet representing the Wolfpack.

The NC State men's and women's swimming and diving teams will both start their 2021-22 campaigns ranked in the top four of the national standings, as the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) released its preseason poll on Thursday.



The Wolfpack women will begin the year at No. 3 overall, and the Pack men check in at No. 4 in the nation as the highest-ranked ACC squad. Both teams finished last season in the top six of the final CSCAA poll and secured top-eight finishes at the NCAA Championships

NC State welcomes the Tennessee Volunteers to the Willis R. Casey Aquatic Center over the weekend for its first home dual meet of the 2021-22 regular season. The squads are set for two separate sessions with one meet scheduled for a 5 p.m. start on Friday (4 p.m. diving) and another set of races beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

Though NC State's divers have frequently competed at the Tennessee Diving Invitational in years past, this weekend marks the first full team dual meet between the Wolfpack and the Volunteers in the Holloway era.

THOUGHTS FROM THE COACHES
Swimming
"We're excited to get our season underway!," said head coach Braden Holloway. "The team has been looking forward to competing again, especially competing with fans in the stands. We have a solid first week with two great programs, with UNC in Chapel Hill and Tennessee at home. We look forward to welcoming our alumni back this weekend and are excited to learn where our team currently is. This will be a good starting point for us to evaluate and analyze where we are at this point early in the season."

Diving
"I have nothing but excitement for our first meet with Tennessee," said Wes Mattice regarding his first home meet as the Wolfpack diving coach. "Dave has been a friend of mine for a few years now and is someone I have looked up to as a seasoned coach and now a peer. The Wolfpack divers and I are just starting this journey together. We had a first great meet on Wednesday, which was a big first step. For the meet this Friday, we wilI be bringing a bigger squad of divers, and I'm excited to see where we all are after the work we have done the past few months. We can really start to map out where we are and where we want to go. The meet against Tennessee will be a great next step in our future, and we couldn't have picked a better opponent."

PACK IN THE POLLS
The Wolfpack women will begin the year at No. 3 overall, and the Pack men check in at No. 4 in the nation as the highest-ranked ACC squad. Both teams finished last season in the top six of the final CSCAA poll and secured top-eight finishes at the NCAA Championships.

BACK WITH THE PACK
Overall, 16 members of the Pack who gained All-American status in at least one individual or relay event last season are back in Raleigh - 8 women and 8 men.
The Wolfpack women's squad returns its top seven individual scorers from last year's second place NCAA Championship team. That includes Kylee Alons (44 points), Katharine Berkoff (44 points), Sophie Hansson, Kate Moore (27 points) and Andrea Podmanikova (27 points) each finaled in at least two individual events
Four of the five women who contributed to the Pack's five national titles also return to the squad in 2021-22. Sirena Rowe (200 medley relay) is the only one missing from last season.
The Pack men bring back all individual points from last season's NCAA Champioships meet as all of those performances came from non-seniors. Ross Dant (27 points) and Kacper Stokowski (17 points) lead the tally after reaching the A final in the 500 free and 1650 free (Dant) and the 100 backstroke (Stokowski).
All of the Wolfpack's ACC gold medalists (both individual and relay) across the men's and women's teams are on this year's squad. That number includes individual ACC gold medalists Kylee Alons (50 free) Katharine Berkoff (100 back), Sophie Hansson (100/200 breaststroke), Emma Muzzy (200 back) and Kacper Stokowski (100 back).

WOLFPACK WELCOME
Ahead of the 2021-22 season, SwimSwam released its rankings for the 2021 signing class (the current freshmen). NC State's men checked in with the highest-ranked class, and the Wolfpack women were ranked third

Some highlights from last's night win over Tennessee

#GoPack #PBG #WW https://t.co/pMpF5zVBEy

Following the opening week of 2021-22 competition for Wolfpack swimming and diving, NC State sprinter Nyls Korstanje was named ACC Men's Swimmer of the Week on Tuesday afternoon.

An 11-time All-American and seven-time ACC champion, Korstanje earned the weekly award for the first time in his NC State career. He was also the 2019 ACC Men's Freshman of the Year.

The Wolfpack junior made a dynamic return to collegiate competition after spending the 2020-21 season preparing for the Olympics. He picked up top finishes in all of his individual races last week and helped lead the Pack men to dual wins over North Carolina and Tennessee.

Most impressively, Korstanje clocked in at 19.66 in the 50-yard freestyle to lead the Pack's 1-2-3 sweep over the Volunteers. He added a first-place finish in the 100-yard butterfly (46.41) at that meet and also competed in and won the 100-yard freestyle (44.04) against the Tar Heels.

The Netherlands native also swam the butterfly leg (20.10) of NC State's 200-yard medley relay, which placed first against Tennessee in an overall time of 1:24.92.

The NC State men's and women's swimming and diving teams will make the trip to Auburn, Ala. this weekend to compete in Auburn's Tri Meet alongside the Wildcats of Kentucky. This weekend's meet will take place at the James E. Martin Aquatics Center, with diving beginning at 3:30 p.m. EST Friday, followed by swimming starting at 5 p.m. EST. The three teams will be back in the water Saturday morning at 10 a.m. EST for a session of nontraditional exhibition events.

The victory marks the third in a row after both Pack squads defeated UNC and Tennessee in dual meets last week.

The women of NC State dropped just four races on their quest for victory, highlighted by several multi-event winners. The first-place points were spread between eight NC State individuals and were supplemented by many second and third place finishes, along with two winning relays.

MEN'S HIGHLIGHTS:
The distance trio of James Plage, Will Gallant, and Ross Dant started the evening of sweeps by finishing first, second and third in the first individual event of the evening, the 1000-yard freestyle, with times of 9:00.34 (Plage), 9:02.72 (Gallant), and 9:02.81 (Dant).

The 200-yard butterfly podium was claimed by Noah Henderson (1:45.05), Noah Bowers (1:45.76) and Zach Brown (1:46.71), while Hoover claimed his first collegiate victory in the 100-yard freestyle (43.78), closely followed by Miller (43.88) and Piszczorowicz (43.97).

The distance quartet of Dant, Plage, Gallant and Eric Knowles out-swam all of their competition in the 500-yard freestyle, finishing 4:22.23 (Dant), 4:23.17 (Plage), 4:24.36 (Gallant), and 4:28.45 (Knowles).

The domination extended with 1-2-3 finishes in the men's 100-yard butterfly, led by Nyls Korstanje's time of 46.24 seconds. He was closely followed by Henderson (46.87) and freshman Aiden Hayes (48.36) to finish out the top three.

The Wolfpack triad of Michael Moore, Bowers, and Hoover rounded out the evening by cruising to the top three spots in the 200-yard IM. Moore finished with a time of 1:47.63, while Bowers went 1:48.86 and Hoover finished the race with a 1:50.00.

WOMEN'S HIGHLIGHTS:

She finished the 100-yard race with a time of 51.85 and the 200-yard backstroke with a 1:53.73, almost three seconds ahead of teammate and second place finisher, Kate Moore (1:56.65).

RELAY HIGHLIGHTS:
The women's foursome of Berkoff, Hansson, Arens and Heather MacCausland took the 200-yard medley relay from the field with a time of 1:37.34, over two seconds ahead of Auburn's second place finish. In the men's race, Hayes, Rafal Kusto, Korstanje and David Curtiss took the same event with a quick 1:25.93 just in front of Auburn's 1:26.79.

NC State finished off the evening of victories with wins in both the women's and men's 400-yard freestyle relay.

NC State swimming and diving junior Katharine Berkoff was honored as ACC Women's Swimmer of the Week for the second time in her career, as announced by the league office on Tuesday.

The award comes after the backstroker contributed several stellar performances in the team's victories over Auburn and Kentucky last weekend. It marks the second such honor of the three-time NCAA Champion's career, as she was also named ACC Swimmer of the Week last season after competing at the UNC Invite.

Berkoff took the top spot in both of her individual races at the Auburn's tri-meet over the weekend. Her 100-yard backstroke time of 51.85 marks the second-fastest time in the ACC this season, and her impressive 1:53.73 in the 200-yard backstroke was almost three seconds faster than the field and ranks second nationally this season.

The Missoula, Mont., native also contributed a 24.17 backstroke split in the Wolfpack's 200-yard medley relay victory (1:37.34). Berkoff also found success in a slate of exhibition events that NC State swam on Saturday. She touched first in the 200-yard freestyle (1:48.52), third in the 100-yard butterfly (56.26) and first as part of the 200-yard freestyle relay team (1:32.48, 23.35 leadoff split).
