The No. 6/15 NC State swimming and diving team completed in its final competition before the championship season at the Nike Invitational Sunday inside Koury Natatorium in Chapel Hill.
NC State, on the third and final day, had just five swimmers compete. Two of them won their respective events, one placed second and two raced in time trials.
Junior Mason Revis won his 1-mile freestyle finals with an NCAA B standard time, failing to automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships by falling a little bit more than half a minute behind the A standard.
Freshman Luke Sobolewski was the other NC State swimmer to win his event, taking first in the 200-yard butterfly, but still failing to make an A time.
Junior Jabari Baptiste finished second in the men’s 100-yard freestyle, but missed the A time in his event as well.
The last two swimmers to go out for the Wolfpack on Sunday were senior Caroline Estep and freshman Maddie Morello, but despite racing their hearts out could not make the time to qualify for championships.
Junior Patrick Schwarzenbach got a B cut during prelims on Saturday, but choose not to swim Sunday as he was still nearly six seconds short of the required time for an A cut in the 200-yard breaststroke.
Freshman Olivia Fisher fell a few seconds short of a B time in her 200-yard breaststroke.
On Saturday junior Elise Haan broke a pool record in her prelim for the 200-yard freestyle after she posted a B time of 1:47.47, winning her prelim. Seven Wolfpack swimmers earned B times on Saturday: Haan, Fisher, Baptiste, Schwarzenbach, Revis, freshman Jacob Johnson in the 200-yard freestyle and freshman Amy Shumate who finished second behind Fisher in the women’s 100-yard breaststroke.
NC State will be back in action Feb. 14-17 when the women’s swimming and diving and men’s diving teams compete in the ACC championships.
