Mile Runner-up Ross Dant on Watching Teammate Will Gallant Win: “My heart was pounding”

2023 NCAA DIVISION I MEN’S SWIMMING & DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

NC State Wolfpack went 1-2 last night in the 1650 free; Will Gallant took first with a 14:28.94 and Ross Dant took second with a 14:30.32. Dant’s seed time was ranked 13th going into this meet, placing him in the “morning heats” of the mile. He dropped 14.5 seconds from his seed time and launched himself to a very comfortable 1st place position with just that night’s A final left. Gallant and Dant recall what it was like watching each other swim, in anticipation of reaching their goal of going 1-2 this year.

Looks like most, if not all, of the NCS senior class is looking to next year as their swan song. That has the makings to be one incredible team when you consider the incoming class and the blue-chip rising sophomores who were out sick/injured this season. 👀
