SACRÉ CAROLINA BLEU
setting UNC record
by kelly parsons
staff writer
North Carolina swimmer Colin Bridier’s
days as a Tar Heel might be numbered, but
the French exchange student has already
ensured that his name will not quickly be
forgotten.
He’s nabbed three first-place finishes
in two dual meets, helped his team to an
undefeated 4-0 record and slashed senior
teammate Vinny Pryor’s school record in
the 100-yard breaststroke.
During Bridier’s first few months in
America, the jet-lagged athlete has been
bogged down with frequent globe-trotting
and an NCAA eligibility conflict — but it
hasn’t stopped Bridier from making his
mark in his new environment.
The name and accomplishment of UNC’s
first exchange student turned swimming
standout will soon adorn the wall of records
in the Koury Natatorium, replacing those of
his teammate’s feat from earlier this year.
But Pryor has no hard feelings.
“I look at him as just being a part of the
team, and I was really happy for him when
he broke it,” Pryor said. “Everyone is just
really excited that he’s here and excited that
he’s really talented … because it brings a lot
to our team, and it makes us better.”
