2024 NCS Top 5 List

by

Below is the list of North Carolina Swimming athletes who finished with a Top Five time in one or more short course or long course event during the period beginning on Sept 1, 2023 and ending on August 31, 2024 (athletes are listed by club code). Top Fives are listed by age group – 10U, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, and 17-18.

Those achieving Top Five status will receive Top Five swim caps. Caps will be sent to the swimmers’ clubs for distribution at NCS HOD/ All Star weekend October 5-6, 2024.

Top Five age group rankings should not be confused with the NCS Top Ten rankings, which are listed by individual age. Top Five achievement also has nothing to do with order of finish at NCS championship meets. The list is based on age group rankings at the end of the qualifying period…which this year was August 31, 2024.
