Derek Hren
6’0″ 174 pound Six-Time All American Swimmer
North Carolina State
A special leader and senior co-captain for the Saint Ignatius Swimming and Diving Team, Derek Hren has been special from the very moment he jumped in the water. Hren is a six-time All-American and has been a consistent leader for Saint Ignatius this winter in the 2012-2013 season. Last year, Hren broke a new team record when he swam to a 2nd place finish at the 200 yard IM with a new team record of 1:50.34 at the OHSAA State Tournament. Hren was also part of the 200 yard Medley Relay team that broke a new team record of 1:33.24. Highlights this year include winning the 100 Breast Stroke at the Ned Reeb Invitational at Ohio State University and breaking pool-record times when the Wildcats went to Strongsville in the 200 IM and the 100 breaststroke. Coach Braden Holloway could not be more excited about the NC State Wolfpack Swimming Team. Holloway was hired in 2011. He is a graduate of NC State (2001) and knows the NC State attitude. Derek Hren, a true leader, will be in the Atlantic Coast Conference next year.
