It is our great pleasure to announce that the hiring committee, after a rigorous interview process, has selected Amy Faulk to be our LSC’s next Executive Director. As you know, Amy is a board member and long-time LSC volunteer extraordinaire. She will bring to her new position the same passion and commitment she shows for North Carolina Swimming every day, not to mention her extensive experience with so many NCS activities. Please join me in congratulating Amy! She will begin a month long transition with Bill Martin beginning April 1.

Attached are the NCS Top Five Times from Sept 1, 2022- March 23, 2023 by age group. At some point USA Swimming will introduce a new reporting system. Until then, the process of running these reports is very cumbersome and time-consuming and will not be updated as often as in the past. Top Ten reports by individual age will be added after the new reporting system is introduced.

Swimmers and parents can also access the USA Swimming Event Rank/Top Times report that shows all athletes and their rankings based on the selected criteria. Choose from the competition year or between two dates. Select from distance, course and stroke, an age range, a standard, a club, an LSC and more, to see where your swimmer ranks. Note: You must click “Advanced Search” to search by LSC.

Several NCS short course records were set at the 2023 North Carolina Swimming Short Course Age Group Championship meet at the Mecklenburg Aquatic Center this past weekend. Reina Liu of the Greensboro Community YMCA Makos (GCY) had an outstanding weekend. Liu swept the 11-12 Girls backstroke records with impressive new marks in the 50 back, 100 back, and 200 back.

The New Wave Swimming 13-14 boys relay team also captured new records in both the 200 free relay and the 200 medley relay. Mattaus Rammel, Ben Smith, Ethan Holloway, and Drew Sito teamed up to break the record in the free relay. Raston Sharron joined Sito, Rammel, and Holloway in erasing the old mark in the medley relay.

Congratulations swimmers!

Records won’t be updated on the NCS website until USA Swimming makes those reports available. Once those reports are available these names will be added to the record book.
