The North Carolina Tar Heels received a commitment from one of the nation’s top junior college swimmers.\u00a0Craig Emslie,<\/strong> who competes for Indian River State College in Florida, will join North Carolina next year.<\/p>\n

“I chose UNC not only for it’s outstanding swim program, but also for its excellent Business school and phenomenal team spirit,” he said.<\/p>\n

Emslie competed at the Georgia Tech Invitational in November, posting a number of best times. He touched in 52.77 in the 100-yard breaststroke and 43.52 in the 100-yard freestyle. He is the junior college national record holder in the 100-yard breaststroke.<\/p>\n

“The Georgia Tech Invitational is where I knew I had the opportunity to shine out and set some personal bests,” he said.<\/p>\n

Emslie’s 100-yard breaststroke time is faster than all but ten Division I swimmers this season. It would have been the fastest time on the North Carolina team.<\/p>\n

The Indian River State sophomore\u00a0grew up in Cape Town, South Africa and will compete for a spot on the South African Olympic team in April. Though it took Emslie time to adjust to the short course yard system, he says he and his coach have focused a lot on his turns and underwater swimming.<\/p>\n

Already a decorated swimmer, Emslie is hopeful for the future.<\/p>\n

“Although I’ve had some swims that I’m proud of,” he said, “I believe it’s only the start.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
