Just a week after USC's women's team placed third at the Pac-12 Championships, USC men's swim heads to Federal Way, WA to make its mark on the conference tournament beginning tomorrow.

The No. 13 Trojans have their work cut out for them, facing the likes of No. 1 Cal, No. 5 Stanford, No. T-15 ASU and No. T-15 Arizona.
After finishing second at Pac-12s last year, the Trojans have high expectations. They return Olympians Dylan Carter and Santo Condorelli, who redshirted last season to train for the Rio Games, and were key parts of USC's conference title in 2015.
Carter has posted three NCAA A cuts so far this season, in the 100y free, 200y free and 100y fly. He enters the tournament as the top seed in both freestyle races.
Should Carter win any of these events at the Pac-12 Championships, he'll extend USC's streak of winning at least one individual event in each of the last 20 years.
USC returns all four of its individual Pac-12 champions from last season. Senior co-captain Steven Stumph also has a chance to help USC extend its streak when he tries to three-peat in the 200y breast, while Reed Malone looks to repeat in the 2007 and 500y free, and Ralf Tribuntsov and Patrick Mulcare look to do the same in the 100y and 200y back, respectively.
The Trojans go for glory starting tomorrow. The competition will be streamed on Pac-12.com and the Pac-12 Now app and will be broadcast on select Pac-12 Networks starting at 6:30 a.m.
