Alexei Sancov posts two wins in Trojan loss to Utah
Sophomore Alexei Sancov posted a pair of wins in the 100y and the 200y fly to lead the USC men's swimming team in a 164-91 loss to Utah on Saturday (Feb. 22) at the Ute Natatorium.
With a relatively young squad, USC is now 0-6 after the loss to Utah. The Utes improve to 3-4.
Sancov won the 100y fly in 47.76 to prevent a Utah sweep in the event. He came back to win the 200y fly in 1:46.78, also a quarter second under his previous best, while leading a 1-2-3 USC finish. Sophomore Jackson Odgers was second, finishing in 1:51.76.
USC posted solid swims in the sprint free events against the Utes. In the 50 and 100y free, Nikola Miljenic finished third in 20.73 and 46.77. Freshman Max Saunders (46.22) touched second in the 100y free to pick up points for the Trojans.
Sophomore Victor Johansson finished second in the 1000y free in 9:26.85. Johansson also touched second in the 500y free, posting a 4:35.00. Freshman Dom Margarino (4:46.24) and Ivan Puskovitch (4:46.36) finished 3-4 in the 500y free.
The Trojans closed the meet with a 2-3 finish in the 200y free relay. USC A (Miljenic, Thomas Finello, Saunders, Jan Collazo Torres) finished second in 1:23.49, USC B (Sancov, Joao Ama, Thomas Reed, Jack Kirby) touched third in 1:23.67.
Next up for USC is the Pac-12 Championships in Federal Way, Wash., March 4-7.
