That lasted a day, until <strong>PJ Foy<\/strong> bested him by going 19.39 in a time trial. Kartavi was second in that, again in 19.41. Foy had led off the 200 free relay in 19.49. Kartavi also went 43.12 in the 100 free, which was second.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the action came in prelims, as with Delmar, or time trials. That included a pair of quality swims from <strong>Oleksandr Zheltiakov,<\/strong> the new NC State swimmer clocking in at 46.63 in the 100 back, quicker than his college debut last month, and 1:40.86 in the 200 back.<\/p>\n<p>NC State\u2019s <strong>Kaii Winkler<\/strong> won the 100 free in 41.95. That jumps him into ninth in program history. It gives the Wolfpack five swimmers on the current roster with sub-42-second times in college swimming, jumping him .03 ahead of <strong>Sam Hoover.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wells Walker<\/strong> won the 50 free in 19.53. <strong>Nolan Dunkel<\/strong> turned in quality time trials, in 47.02 in the 100 back and 47.58 in the 100 fly.<\/p>\n<p>The UNC women\u2019s did in the 200 back what the men did in the 50 free. <strong>Emma Karam<\/strong> went 1:52.34 in the 200 backstroke prelims on Saturday, which moved her to third in program history. She displaced <strong>Sophia Frei,<\/strong> who\u2019d used a time trial to get into fourth on Thursday in 1:53.10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Delmar Pool Record
