Inside with Brett Hawke #190 NC State Head Coach Braden Holloway reflects on 10 years leading Wolfpack
Braden Holloway is the Head Coach of NC State Swimming & Diving. This summer, he celebrated his 10th anniversary leading the Wolfpack.
NC State has become the cream of the crop in the ACC. Eight times Braden has been named ACC Coach of the Year and eight times they've won ACC team titles. The Wolfpack has produced 7 individual NCAA Champions as well as 6 National Champion relay teams.
At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Ryan Held won an Olympic gold medal as part of Team USA's 4x100 Freestyle Relay. Coleman Stewart just recently broke the WR in the 100 Back SCM swimming for the Cali Condors.
Braden and his wife, Mary Mittendorf, both swam at NC State. They have 4 kids.
