USC women's swimming and diving won its first ever Pac-12 championship and first conference title since 1985 by putting forth a comprehensive team effort in which all 27 competitors (21 swimmers and six divers) scored at the four-day meet in Federal Way, Washington."I'm really proud of this group of women," USC head coach Dave Salo said. "They identified their goal of winning the championship last year after watching the men come away with the title, and never moved off course. They swam hard and always worked to be better in every session. Beyond that, they had fun getting it done. There is nothing greater than to watch a young group of adults forge a committed goal and stick to it and accomplish the goal!"
