The NC State Wolfpack swept the Dec. 8 release of the ACC Swimmer of the Week honors as senior Eric Knowles<\/strong> and sophomore Katharine Berkoff\u00a0<\/strong>were honored for their performances this past weekend at the Janis Hape Dowd UNC Invite.<\/p>\n

Both swimmers posted multiple top finishes in their individual events and were key parts of NC State’s relays on the way to helping the Wolfpack men and women to first-place team finishes over Duke, North Carolina and Virginia Tech.<\/p>\n

Berkoff put together a stellar invitational weekend, highlighted by a pair of NCAA A cuts in both of the backstroke events. Her winning 100-yard backstroke time of 50.40 also set a new program record and is the fastest in the nation through the first half of the 2020-21 season. Berkoff followed up with a first-place 200-yard backstroke finish in 1:50.20, with that time also checking in among the national top three.<\/p>\n

A native of Missoula, Mont., Berkoff was also a part of four winning NC State relay teams over the weekend, including NCAA A cuts in the 200-yard medley relay (1:34.86), 400-yard medley relay (3:29.46) and the 400-yard freestyle relay (3:14.34). She swam the backstroke or leadoff leg in each of those relays.<\/p>\n

Knowles took first place in all three of his individual events, swimming NCAA B cuts in the 500-yard freestyle (4:14.07), the 400-yard individual medley (3:44.88, 3:43.64 prelims) and the 1,650-yard freestyle (14:48.06). All three of those times rank in the top 15 nationally after the weekend, with his first mile race of the year checking in at No. 6 in the country.<\/p>\n

The Dayton, Ohio, native also helped the Pack’s 400-yard freestyle (2:52.03) and 800-yard freestyle (6:14.44) relay teams earn top finishes. His 42.97 anchor leg in the 400-yard freestyle helped close out another NCAA provisional cut.<\/p>\n

The remainder of NC State’s 2020-21 slate will be released at a later date.<\/p>\n
