When Debbie Yow was introduced as AD at NC State in June of 2010, one of her main goals was to get the athletic program to finish in the top 25 of the Director’s Cup. This goal is something that the Wolfpack had yet to reach. When she was hired, State was ranked 89th. A big improvement was needed. Since she has taken over, the coaching hires have been really good. While most people spend the vast majority of time concerned with the two revenue sports, football and men’s basketball (and understandably so), the improvement in the Olympic sports has been most refreshing.
