It was the ninth straight Top 9 finish for the Trojans, who wound up with 176 points. That placed them behind national champion Stanford, Cal, Texas A&M, Georgia, Texas, Louisville, NC State and Indiana.
En route to the ninth place finish, seven Trojans earned All-American status. Freshman Louise Hansson led the way, getting the nod in five events (200y M.R., 400y M.R., 400y F.R. 200y IM, 100y Fly), while senior Anika Apostalon was named a three-time All-American to close out her career with nine such honors.
Sophomores Hanni Leach and Riley Scott were named a two-time All-Americans, while freshman Stanzi Moseley, sophomore Kristen Vose and sophomore Maddie Wright rounded out USC's All-American honorees.
Hansson, Mosely, Vose and Apostalon helped USC finish fourth overall in the 400y free relay, one of its best finishes of the weekend. USC finished fifth in the 200y medley relay, and Hansson herself placed third in the 100y fly.
The Trojans will lose five seniors to graduation now that the season is over: Anika Apostalon, Chelsea Chenault, Riley Hayward, Kelsey Kafka and Lexie Malazdrewicz. But a talented group of young swimmers and divers has the future beaming bright for USC.
