North Carolina State University has nabbed another verbal commitment, this time from Californian Lucca Martins. Â Martins currently attends Monta Vista High School in Cupertino, California, while also competing for Palto Alto Stanford Aquatics. Â
Martins brings an arsenal of talent to Raleigh, having clocked impressive times across several events over his short course yards career.  Notable times include his personal best of 1:47.00 in the 200y butterfly, 1:48.75 in the 200y IM and 1:39.97 in the 200y freestyle.  But Martins also has some long-distance endurance to bring to the table, as his personal best 1000y freestyle sits at 9:10.86.
As for why he verbally committed to the Wolfpack, Martins states that, “On my recruiting trip I felt at home. The swimmers on the team and the coaches welcomed us with open arms, and I loved that. Everyone that’s a part of this program is extremely passionate in what they do and I know with that being said I will be able to thrive not only inside the pool but in the classroom as well. To me, it just made complete sense.”
Go Lucca!
Congratulations Lucca & NC State!
He’s quick
Outstanding young man who will do great things for the Wolfpack
