It was a successful night two from the ACC Championships for NC Swim and Dive as the Wolfpack brought home another American record on their way to two ACC titles and six podium finishes.

After their American record in the 200-medley relay was broken shortly after setting it, the Wolfpack men returned to the pool and set the American record in the 200 Freestyle Relay. Luke Miller and Quintin McCarty were a part of both relays, with Drew Salls and Noah Henderson joining the freestyle relay.

With a time of 1:14.44 to set the American best time, the Wolfpack also matched their conference record set last season, which both Miller and Henderson were a part of, and it beat the meet record set in 2022 by Virginia.

Arsenio Bustos took home gold in the men's 200-yard IM for the second consecutive year with a 1:40.75.

The successful night helped the Wolfpack men surge to first place with 531.5 points, 196 points ahead of Notre Dame.

Women 500 Freestyle: The Wolfpack had swimmers in all three final heats. First in the C final, Keelan Cotter went 4:45.98 to finish first. In the B final, Grace Monahan also came in first place with a personal best of 4:45.42. The A final saw three NC State swimmers in the top eight; Emma Hastings finished fifth with a time of 4:42.77, Brooke Travis was right behind her at 4:43.99, and Yara Hierath placed seventh at 4:44.70.

Men 500 Freestyle: Four of the top eight swimmers were from NC State. Led by James Plage, who earned the silver medal with a 4:14.72, he was followed by Owen Lloyd and a personal best, who took home the bronze with a 4:14.87. Fourth and fifth place were also occupied by the Wolfpack, with Ross Dant going 4:15.05 and a personal best of 4:15.11 from Kyle Ponsler.

Women 200 Yard IM: Kennedy Noble represented the Wolfpack in the A final and earned a fourth-place finish and a personal best of 1:55.29. Grace Sheble and Katherine Helms appeared in the B final. Sheble finished 10th overall at 1:57.61, and Helms finished 16th at 1:59.86.

Men 200 Yard IM: Bustos's time of 1:40.75 automatically qualifies him for NCAAs with A standard time. With a time of 1:42.77 in prelims, Diehl finished with a personal best of 1:41.97 for fourth place in the finals. Sam Hoover came in sixth place with a time of 1:43.60

Women 50 Yard Freestyle: Berkoff found herself on the podium again with a bronze in the women's 50 freestyle, clocking a 21.23. Meghan Donald finished in 16th with a time of 22.56, and Casandra Moses in 18th at 22.33.

Men 50 Yard Freestyle: The top eight had three Wolfpack securing spots, led by McCarty at 18.89 and in fourth. Salls in sixth and 18.99 and Aiden Hayes at 19.30. The B final was won by Noah Henderson, who turned in a 19.24. Miller finished in 12th at 19.38, followed by a personal best from Jerry Fox at 19.41.

Women 200 Yard Freestyle Relay: The night started on the podium as the women took home third place in the 200-freestyle relay. Katharine Berkoff led things off with a 21.14 split, which set a school record. Abby Arens followed (21.60), with Meghan Donald (21.89) and Miriam Sheehan (21.61) rounding out the four.

Men 200 Yard Freestyle Relay: McCarty got the relay started with an 18.93 leadoff, Salls followed with his first 18-second split, going 18.53, and Henderson clocked an 18.45 with Miller closing it out with an 18.53 to bring home the American record

Thanks Wolfer!

Berkoff won her 5th straight ACC title in the 100 backstroke!!

It was a dominant night on both sides of the pool for the men and women of NC State Swim and Dive. The Wolfpack claimed five ACC titles from the Greensboro Aquatic Center to give the men an over 300-point lead, and the women moved into second place heading into the final day.

NC State won the men's 200-yard butterfly as they claimed gold and silver in the event led by Noah Bowers and Aiden Hayes. Hayes, who won the event last season at both the ACC and NCAAs, finished in second with a time of 1:39.65 for his second individual medal of the competition. Bowers won his first ACC title as the grad student secured a personal best, going below the 1:40 mark for the first time with a time of 1:39.65.

For the past five ACC Championships, the women's 100 backstroke has only known one winner, and her name is Katherine Berkoff. Berkoff became the first woman to win five-straight ACC titles in the same event, as she went on to set a meet record and personal best of 48.70, becoming the second fastest swim ever in the event.

Teammate Kennedy Noble followed Berkoff in second at 50.92, Meghan Donald came in sixth, and Miriam Sheehan finished in eighth.

It was the men's turn immediately after the women's 100 backstroke. Kacper Stokowski entered the night winning the last three ACC titles, and it was no different tonight as he claimed his fourth consecutive 100 backstroke title, clocking a time of 44.36, the second-fastest in the nation.

Freshman Hudson Williams also found the podium in the event, taking home the bronze with a personal best of 45.28. Quintin McCarty came in eighth.

After finishing the women's platform preliminaries in first place, freshman Bayleigh Cranford took home the gold and is the first ACC Champion in women's platform since Madeline Kline, who won the event in 2019 and 2018.

As the last diver of the finals heading into her last dive, Cranford scored a huge 79.90 to move into first place and win gold with a final score of 313.80, beating out second by .60.

Abby Arens continued the successful night with a second-place finish in the women's 100 breaststroke, going 58.74 for her career best.

Though no one swam for the Wolfpack in the men's 100 breaststroke, Sam Hoover did win the consolation final, hitting a lifetime best of 52.22.

The night ended like it had started, with two more podium finishes, seeing the men's 400 medley relay earn gold and the women's 400 medley relay take home second. In the men's relay, Stokowski put the Pack into the lead with a 44.99 leadoff, and Hoover followed at 51.61. Luke Miller gave the Wolfpack the lead back with a 44.08 fly split, the fastest in the field, and McCarty anchored in 41.52. for a total time of 3:02.20. The women turned in a time of 3:28.23, with Noble leading off (51.23), followed by Arens (57.86) and Sheehan (53.05) as Berkoff closed it out 46.05 for a total time of 3:28.23.


The Wolfpack closes out the ACC Championships on Saturday, Feb. 24, for the final day of competition. 9:30 a.m. and finals starting at 6 p.m. Mile heats are slated to begin at 2:45 p.m. The ACC Network Extra has the full day of competition covered.

NIGHT FIVE HIGHLIGHTS:
The distance freestyle events opened the session as all of NC State's competitors on both the men's and women's sides were seeded in the fastest heat of the 1,650. The Pack men entered the finals session with a stacked slate, also having four A finalists in both the 200-yard backstroke and the 100-yard freestyle.

NC State made up half of the finals session swim in the men's mile. Ross Dant claimed the team's third straight title in the event in 14:39.34, with James Plage (14:47.41) joining him on the podium in third and Kyle Ponsler (15:11.47) finishing seventh. On the women's side, Emma Hastings led the way by finishing third in 16:09.26, and Brooke Travis (7th 16:22.20) and Yara Hierath (8th 16:26.72) joined her in the top eight.

Kennedy Noble picked up her second silver medal in as many backstroke events with a 1:50.95 time in the 200. NC State then went 2-3-4 in the event on the men's side with performances from Daniel Diehl (1:39.30), Kacper Stokowski (1:40.67) and Hunter Tapp (1:40.97) and an eighth-place finish by JT Ewing (1:42.82).

Katharine Berkoff, who swam in the finals of all three of her individual events this week, picked up a bronze medal in the 100-yard freestyle (46.81). Luke Miller also medaled in the event with his time of 41.50, with Quintin McCarty (6th 41.88), Sam Hoover (7th 42.19) and Jerry Fox (8th 42.20) joining him in the A final.

Arsenio Bustos notched the Pack's last individual medal of the meet and his second of the year with a 1:51.53 for third place in the 200-yard breaststroke.
