NC State’s swimming program has been incredibly good over the last few years, but most of the attention has gone to the men’s team—the men are back-to-back ACC champs and have an Olympic gold medalist to their credit.
The women’s team is also really really good, but it’s been deprived of a breakthrough by Virginia, which came into this week the winner of nine consecutive ACC titles. Virginia has been the power in ACC women’s swimming. No more. The NC State women broke through this week, and they were so good, it was academic by the last few races of the day.
