ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA STATE SWIMMING

The NC State Wolfpack has been coached by Braden Holloway, who himself is a NC State grad (2001) for the past couple years.

At the 2014 NCAA Championships the Wolfpack men (quite possibly the best team name going) the men’s team placed 13th, which was highest among the teams in their conference (the ACC), an improvement on last year’s 15th place finish, and their highest since 1979.

The women placed 16th, also the highest they have placed in over 30 years. Seven of the NC State women were also recognized with First Team and Honorable Mention All-American honors.
