Former Florida Gator Makayla Sargent has announced her transfer to NC State University. Sargent will join the Wolfpack in the fall. In her freshman year (2016-2017) in Gainesville Sargent qualified for NCAAs, swimming the 400 IM and 200 butterfly at the National Championship. She competed this fall for the Gators, but did not race in the second semester.

Sargent is originally from Victor, New York, and trained with Victor Swim Club in high school. She was with the club when she made her commitment to the Gators in October 2015. Sargent was an Olympic Trials qualifier in 2016. Now she swims for Islanders Aquatics. She swam with the club at Speedo Sectionals in Buffalo in March. There Sargent won the 200 butterfly, 200 breaststroke, and 200 and 400 IMs.

She wrote,

“I am extremely excited to continue my swimming and education at NC State University. I cant wait to join this family of incredibly hardworking and enthusiastic athletes.The level of excitement in the program is obvious and I feel lucky to be a member of THE PACK!”

Her best times now are:

200 IM 2:00.46
400 IM 4:10.78
200 Fly 1:58.69

Sargent joins an NC State squad that is graduating 400 IM NCAA Championship B finalist Hannah Moore. Kate Moore and Julia Poole will be sophomores in the fall. They also swam the 400 IM at NCAAs, as did rising junior Jessica Horomanski. Horomanski was the Wolfpack’s only swimmer in the 200 butterfly at NCAAs this year.
