The Texas men and women narrowly won their respective meets last season, but this time around the meets were split and the points were not nearly as close. Notably, the Wolfpack men handily defeated the defending NCAA Championship Team in dominant fashion, winning 173.5-126.5. Recent Olympian <\/span><b>Ryan Held <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was a standout for the Wolfpack. The junior had a pair of sub-19 second splits on the opening and closing relays, powering his team to tight wins in both events. <\/span><b>Held <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was 18.85 on the opening medley relay and 18.90 on the closing freestyle relay. He also won the individual 50 freestyle (19.49) and 100 freestyle (43.10). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Texas didn\u2019t go down without a fight, and was buoyed by the return of <\/span><b>Joseph Schooling <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to NCAA competition. <\/span><b>Schooling <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">won both butterflies and had strong splits in the 50 fly (20.58) and 50 free (19.11) to keep Texas in the hunt. Notably, Texas was still without senior and 4-time NCAA champion <\/span><b>Will Licon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who has yet to compete this season. After a historic fourth place finish at NCAA\u2019s last year, this win is just one more sign that NC State is continuing to develop into a swimming powerhouse.
