Trojans Claim Eight Events, Set Five Pool Records During First Day of UCLA Swim & Dive Dual
February 11, 2022 | Women's Swimming & Diving
The No. 11 USC women's swim and dive team posted five pool records and claimed eight events during the first day of the two-day dual against UCLA on Friday (Feb. 11) at the Spieker Aquatic Center in Westwood, Calif.
Â
With the first session of the two-day dual complete, the Trojans currently hold a 141-64 lead over the Bruins with 9 events up for grabs tomorrow. One of those nine events is the women's platform competition.Â
Â
The Women of Troy swept both relays on Friday, opening the meet with a pool record in the 400y medley relay as Calypso Sheridan, Kaitlyn Dobler, Anicka Delgado, and Laticia Transom combined for a 3:29.07.Â
Â
USC newcomer Caroline Pennington won the 1650y free in a pool record-worthy time of 16:00.73. Her teammate and fellow freshman Marlene Kahler took second in 16:35.93. Both clocked personal bests in the event this afternoon.Â
Â
Senior Transom followed up Pennington's win with another Trojan victory, blasting a 1:43.10 in the 200y freestyle to take the event and post the third pool record of the day for USC.Â
Â
The breaststroke specialist Dobler continued her unbeaten streak in the 100, posting a 58.09 for first. With her time, she also picked up the fourth pool record of the day for the Trojans. Shortly behind Dobler was Isabelle Odgers (second – 1:00.17) and Nicole Pavlopoulou (third – 1:00.48).Â
Â
Trojan Jade Hannah (53.44) added to USC's point total, posting a win in the 100y back and leading a 1-2 Women of Troy finish. Junior Aela Janvier was second in 53.45.Â
Â
UCLA claimed two events on Friday, taking both the 200y fly (Sam Baron) and the 50y fee. Bruin Claire Grover out-touched Trojan Delgado by .24 in the 50y free to take the event.Â
Â
Senior Odgers took the 200y IM in 1:56.87 with teammate Pavlopoulou closely behind in 1:58.30 for second.Â
Â
In the diving well, sophomore Maddie Huitt led the Trojans on 3-meter, claiming the event with 299.63. On 1-meter, USC finished 3-4-5 as Farrah Volpintesta took third (266.03), Nike Agunbiade claimed fourth (263.03) and Huitt rounded out the field finishing fifth (253.88).Â
Â
The Trojan relay quartet of Sheridan, Dobler, Delgado and Transom returned to close out the afternoon with another win and pool record, this time in the 200y free relay (1:28.75).
Â
The two-day dual concludes tomorrow with the final session scheduled for 12 p.m. PT at the Spieker Aquatics Center.Â
