UNC-Wilmington Keeps Another In State, Picks Up MORโ€™s Jacob Duracinsky

Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwamโ€™s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.

Marlins of Raleighโ€™s Jacob Duracinsky is the latest to commit to UNC-Wilmington, a program under new leadership with Bobby Guntoro taking the reins this summer. Duracinsky is a rising senior at Southern Wake Academy.

I was looking at a couple different schools and had some visits set up, but after my first phone call with Bobby Guntoro I had no doubt UNCW was where I wanted to go. His passion for swimming and his knowledge of not only the sport but each individual person had completely sold me.

TOP TIMES (SCY)

  • 5o free โ€“ 21.41
  • 100 free โ€“ 46.38
  • 200 free โ€“ 1:40.74
  • 200 IM โ€“ 1:54.31

Duracinsky put up three top-eight finishes at the 2020 North Carolina Senior Champs in February. There, he touched fifth in the 200 free (1:42.02), sixth in the 200 IM (1:54.78) and seventh in the 100 free (46.46). He raced in August at the TAC Titans-hosted meet with Marlins of Raleigh, where he hit a lifetime best in the 100 free (46.38) and neared his 200 IM best with a 1:54.57.

Last season, Duracinsky wouldโ€™ve #4 on UNC-Wilmingtonโ€™s roster in the 200 free. At the 2020 CAA Championships, Duracinsky wouldโ€™ve scored in the 200 free B-final with his lifetime best.

Duracinsky joins Will Barker, Aidan Duffy and Ethan Womble in UNC-Wilmingtonโ€™s class of 2025.
