NC State freshman Kennedy Noble was recognized by the ACC league office Tuesday as the conference's Women's Swimmer of the Week for her dominating performance in Saturday's dual meet win over Duke.

After picking up wins in both of her individual events during Saturday's meet on the road, the Goodyear, Ariz. native claims the first ACC Women's Swimmer of the Week honor of her career. Noble started the meet with a 24.98 split on the backstroke leg of the Wolfpack women's 200-yard medley relay and just six events later, went 52.96 in the 100-yard backstroke to secure the top spot. The winning time led the Pack to a 1-2-3 finish in the event, with Emma Muzzy and Maddy Flickinger finishing second and third.

Noble continued to prove her dominance by winning the 200-yard backstroke in 1:56.35, an event in which she is currently ranked No. 11 in the nation. The freshman rounded out the day by leading off NC State's 'C' relay in the 400-yard freestyle relay, splitting 51.53 for the second-fastest leadoff split in the field.

Both individual swims mark NCAA B cuts, Noble being the only swimmer of the session to achieve the mark in both individual events.

The NC State squads will return to action Friday for a tri meet against North Carolina and Virginia in Chapel Hill and competition will resume Saturday morning at the Casey Natatorium in Raleigh for the Wolfpack's Senior Day.
