NC State will send 12 future, current and former student-athletes to the 2024 Paris Olympics. In addition, the Wolfpack will send two coaches as part of the U.S. men's and women's swimming teams.

In all, 10 of this year's Olympians will compete in swimming: Berkoff and former gold-medal winner Ryan Held for the U.S. team, and eight others for Germany, Greece, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland and Sweden.

Former men's basketball player Lorenzo Brown, who spent three years with the Wolfpack, will represent Spain, becoming the first Pack player since Kenny Carr in 1976 to compete in the Olympics. Tommy Burleson, who played for the U.S. in 1972, is the only other men's basketball player to participate in the Olympics.

Diana Shnaider, a native of Moscow who spent one year playing for NC State's women's tennis team before turning professional, will officially compete as an Individual Neutral Athlete, the designation used for all qualified Olympians from Russia and Belarus.

Finally, men's swimming coach Braden Holloway will serve as one of four assistants to former NC State associate head coach Todd Desorbo, who is now the head women's coach at Virginia

Katherine Berkoff qualifies for the 100 M backstroke Final with the 3rd best time overall. Reagan Smith won her semifinal and Kaylee McKeown from Australia won the 2nd semifinal with KB right behind her.

Good chance for her to medal and possibly win.
Being an N. C. State fan builds great character!

.@NCState alum Katharine Berkoff takes bronze in the 100 backstroke in Paris, becoming the first woman with Wolfpack ties since 1984--and only the second in history--to medal at the Olympics. The other was Joan Benoit, who won the goal medal in the inaugural women's marathon at the Los Angeles Games.
