Illinois Standout and World Junior Champs Qualifier Thomas McMillan Commits to North Carolina State
St. Charles (Ill.) native Thomas McMillan has announced his verbal commitment to continue his swimming and academic career at North Carolina State University, beginning in the fall of 2026. A standout for St. Charles North High School, McMillan has built a reputation as one of Illinois’ most dynamic sprint butterflyers and backstrokers.
In August, McMillan showcased his talent on the international stage at the World Junior Championships, where he clocked a 54.08 in the 100-meter butterfly (long course). Back home at the Illinois High School Association State Championships in February, McMillan posted a 47.74 in the 100-yard backstroke to take second place and a 46.52 in the 100-yard butterfly to capture the state title.
After careful consideration, I am excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at North Carolina State University. I am very grateful to my friends, family, and coaches at scst/scn for all their support. I would also like to thank Coach Braden and the rest of the staff for providing me with this incredible opportunity. GO PACK!! ♦️♦️♦️
