Quintin McCarty out of Pikes Peak Athletics has verbally committed to NC State’s class of 2026. A junior at Discovery Canyon High School, McCarty will join the Wolfpack in fall 2022.
McCarty was named to the ‘best of the rest’ category on our 2022 High School Boys rankings, and he’s dropped a few-tenths in the 50 free and 100 back, his best events, since that ranking was published a year ago.
I am beyond thrilled to announce my commitment to North Carolina State University to continue my academic and athletic career! I want to thank my coaches and teammates at Pikes Peak Athletics, my friends, family, and most importantly, my parents for your endless support. I am extremely excited for the next chapter in my life!! Go Pack! 🐺♦️

McCarty is a versatile sprinter, with the free and back his best strokes. He’s on an upward trend; in November, at the U.S. Open, he smashed personal bests in long course, going 22.86 in the 50 free and 51.92 in the 100 free, getting a Wave I Olympic Trials Cut in the 50.
At the 2019 Winter Junior Championships – West, McCarty was a B-finalist in the 50 free (20.55) and 100 back (48.26).
This is another great sprint addition for the Wolfpack, who have one of the most impressive incoming classes (2025) in history, spearheaded by sprint phenoms like Aiden Hayes, Arsenio Bustos, David Curtiss, Sam Hoover and Noe Ponti.
McCarty joins Drew Salls, Stephen Conrad, JT Ewing, Kyle Ponsler, Lance Norris, Michael Cotter, and Ryan Weaver in Raleigh in the fall of 2022.

Big time!
Congrats, Q!!! NC State is lucky to have you. Looking forward to seeing your continued improvement at the next level, as well as the next 18 months before you get there!!
NC state clearly has top class incoming sprinter talent, who have potential in long course as well to make the games. Quintin and David 2024 USA 50 free spots? But oh mama, can’t forget about Dressel and Chaney wanting to do that from Florida. It’s all up to the coaching staff from this point. These kids have the work ethic… but will they have the right training? Shiiii Michael Andrew though
um what
Both have great coaching
This man ain’t no joke. He’s got the
longest legs you’ve ever seen, top class talent. They are lucky to have him, for real.
Excited for Q! He is so pumped to be part of the Pack!
Congrats Q!!!!
So why is state so goated?
how are they goated if they took the L at ACCs
Because Arthur’s a great guy and deserved some good juju in Nick’s senior conference meet. Cards had a great moment and hope they do great at NCAAs. Will be their last fond memory of North Carolina for a while.
This won’t age well
Forgetting Stephen Conrad again, even though he only has one knee and had his house destroyed in Minecraft he’s still a person😭
😓 keep sleeping on me @swimswam😤
