Triangle swimmers don't just compete in the area. Some of them make a splash on the regional and national scenes.

Victoria Mitchell of the Marlins Of Raleigh-Wolfpack Aquatics is one of those swimmers with big achievements, and she added another this past weekend.

Jerry Winterton built a 620-16 record in 29 seasons as the Cary head coach.

Highly touted N.C. State football recruit Fre'Shad Hunter has been suspended for the remainder of the high school season.

Cary High School has suspended the 6-foot-5, 245-pound lineman, who is projected to play defensive end in college, for undisclosed reasons. He was among a number of starters suspended last week. Before verbally committing to State last month, Hunter was also considering Florida State, LSU and Tennessee, among other schools.

The crowding problem at Panther Creek High School these first few weeks of school has generated a good bit of media coverage.

The combination of rapid growth around the Northwest Cary school and the inability to get 22 modular classrooms set up before classes began has slammed Panther Creek. As was noted last week, students are using the media center and the auditorium until the modulars are installed.

The situation has raised questions about the process Wake uses to install modulars. It's also pointing to how high school students will likely be reassigned in 2009.
