As you’ve probably heard by now, NC State is sending five student-athletes to Rio to compete in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Four of them come from the men’s swimming team, which finished fourth at NCAAs this past season. The fifth is Lucas Kozeniesky, who had a big year for the rifle team.
The swimming events get started on Saturday, and as usual, they should figure prominently in NBC’s national coverage. Two Pack swimmers have a shot at medaling this weekend, beginning with Anton Ipsen, who’ll compete in the 400m freestyle on Saturday. Ryan Held will have a chance to claim a medal for Team USA in the 4x100m freestyle relay on Sunday.
Below is the complete Olympic schedule for each athlete. All times Eastern. Television coverage is TBD in some cases, though the final of each swimming event should be easy to find on live TV, whether its on NBC or one of its other networks. TV listings and an online stream for all events can be found at NBC’s Olympics website.
