The Wolfpack made the most of night two, as two program records were set, and Katharine Berkoff claimed second in the 50 YD freestyle to give NC State its first podium finish of the week.

Berkoff had already held the Wolfpack 50 freestyle record at 21.14 coming into the night. With the finish, Berkoff earned her 26th overall All-American status and fifth straight year as an All-American in the 50 freestyle.

Berkoff breezed to the championship final, placing second overall and first in her heat in the 50-yard freestyle with a 21.23. Abby Arens, who also swam in the event, finished 18th with a new best time of 21.94.

Three personal bests were set to start day two, with Emma Hastings, Kennedy Noble, and Arens all recording top times in their respective events.

Hastings started the day with a top-25 finish in the women's 500 YD freestyle. Finishing first in heat three, Hastings posted a 4:40.67 for a new best by nearly a second. Her time gave her 23rd place and is the sixth fastest time in program history.

The first final appearance of the week was secured by Noble, who booked her spot in the consolation final with a fourth-place finish in heat nine and was 12th overall with a personal best of 1:54.62 in the 200 IM.

Her personal best didn't last long as Noble came out and won the B-final, but she did so by setting a program record in the 200 YD IM. Noble finished ninth with a time of 1:53.72, the fastest time ever by Wolfpack women.

The night ended with the Wolfpack on the podium with a seventh-place finish in the 200-freestyle relay. Led by Berkoff and a 21.32 split, Arens (21.54), followed by Meghan Donald (21.98) and Sheehan (21.91), closing it out.

For the third time in her career, Katharine Berkoff is a national champion as the fifth year from Missoula, Mont., took home first in the 100 YD backstroke with a time of 48.55, setting a program record and led the Wolfpack on night three of the championships.

Berkoff advanced to the finals after setting the Georgia pool record in the prelims, swimming a 49.34 to finish first overall in seven heats. She bested that time in the finals to set the records once again. The win gives Berkoff the title in 2021, 2022, and 2024.

Joining Berkoff in the 100 YD backstroke, earning All-American status, was Kennedy Noble. Noble finished in third, giving her back-to-back years with a top-eight finish. Noble touched the wall in the finals with a time of 50.55.

Abby Arens just missed out on the A-final of the 100 YD butterfly by .03 hundredths of a second, but her time of 51.10 during preliminaries gave her the ninth-best time in the event. In that B-final, Arens finished 15th with a time of 51.55, earning her All-American honorable mentions.

The night ended with the Wolfpack earning sixth place and a spot on the podium in the 400-meter relay. The relay team of Berkoff, Arens, Noble, and Annabel Crush combined to swim a 3:27.12 to secure valuable points for the team.

The Wolfpack Women sit in ninth place with 114 points heading into the final day.
