Day 2 action at the 2017 Janis Hape Dowd Carolina College Nike Cup saw swimmers compete in the 200 medley relay, 400 IM, 100 fly, 200 free, 100 breast, 100 back, and 800 free relay. UNC’s Madison Boswell and Duke’s Peter Kropp put up some of the top performances of the evening, stopping NC State from sweeping the individual races. Boswell dominated the women’s 400 IM, charging to a 4:14.44 victory. Kropp, on the other hand, blasted a 52.60 in the 100 breast to win by a second over teammate Dylan Payne (53.66).
NC State All-Americans Ryan Held and Natalie Labonge were also among the day 2 winners. Held popped a 46.55 in the 100 fly to outpace teammate Andreas Vazaios (46.90), but he was even faster than that in prelims with a 46.41. Labonge secured a Wolfpack victory in the women’s version of that event, touching in a quick 53.29.

Duke coaches better fix the double dolphin kick issue ASAP, Kropp isn’t the only Duke swimmer who does it.
Duke coaches better correct the double dolphin kick issue soon, Kropp isn’t the only Duke swimmer who does it.
Watched him do it at NCAA’s last year too. Officials caught it and DQ’d him. Thought he would have learned from that.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE DOLPHIN KICK IF YOU WANT TO BE THE *KREAM* OF THE KROPP
This is really getting old.
This is an odd time for an invitational (literally one week before women’s ACCs). Anyone know more about this meet? It feels more like a last-chance qualifier, but the timing makes no sense.
It’s like a tune-up. Virginia Tech has one as well as many other teams in the country. A good time to tune up best events as well as swim off events as confidence.
Some teams are too large to take all athletes to their conference championships, so this is those swimmers last meet of the season. I know this is the case with NC STATE men and women.
Probably an early taper meet for those who are on the conference bubble.
Just a stat correction. Maddison Boswell is from UNC and Kropp was found to DQ on third breastroke pull out. extra dolphin kick
Hi, thanks. The results file doesn’t show Kropp as a DQ, but I’ll look into it.
Rice and Cambell swimming well for state….should be a sign of good things to come
