Several athletes with North Carolina Swimming ties earned medals on the first day of the 2022 FINA World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. Ryan Held (formerly with NC State) and Justin Ress (formerly with NC State and Marlins of Raleigh) joined Caeleb Dressel and Brooks Curry on the gold medal-winning men’s 4x100m freestyle relay team. Erika Brown (formerly with SwimMAC) and Claire Curzan (TAC Titans) teamed up with Torre Huske and Kate Douglas to capture bronze in the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay.
Congratulations swimmers and good luck the rest of the way!
