As we count down to the year 2018 and imagine what the New Year will hold for UNC Athletics, let us take a moment to look back at what the first semester of the 2017-18 school year has already brought us.
First off, congratulations to UNC freshman Graham Duncan for bringing the school its first National Championship of the year. Duncan took first place in Synchronized 3-Meter Diving at the NCAA Winter Championships earlier this month. Also, big shout-out to Tar Heel alum and 4-time Olympian Shalane Flanagan becoming the first American woman to win the New York Marathon in over 40 years.
