It is our great pleasure to announce that the hiring committee, after a rigorous interview process, has selected Amy Faulk to be our LSC’s next Executive Director. As you know, Amy is a board member and long-time LSC volunteer extraordinaire. She will bring to her new position the same passion and commitment she shows for North Carolina Swimming every day, not to mention her extensive experience with so many NCS activities. Please join me in congratulating Amy! She will begin a month long transition with Bill Martin beginning April 1.

Attached are the NCS Top Five Times from Sept 1, 2022- March 23, 2023 by age group. At some point USA Swimming will introduce a new reporting system. Until then, the process of running these reports is very cumbersome and time-consuming and will not be updated as often as in the past. Top Ten reports by individual age will be added after the new reporting system is introduced.

Swimmers and parents can also access the USA Swimming Event Rank/Top Times report that shows all athletes and their rankings based on the selected criteria. Choose from the competition year or between two dates. Select from distance, course and stroke, an age range, a standard, a club, an LSC and more, to see where your swimmer ranks. Note: You must click “Advanced Search” to search by LSC.
