The Wolfpack will host the NC State Invitational at the Greensboro Aquatic Center from Nov. 16-18, with invited teams including Arizona State, Virginia Tech, Army, and Duke. The meet will be run in a championship-style format, with morning preliminary sessions and evening finals.

If only the brought that energy to NCAAs where they had no scorers in the 100/200 free despite being labeled as a blue chip freestyle program

Seriously, this is a huge make or break year for Braden. Needs to beat the 4th place allegations and with Texas weak, this is the year to do it
