The Trojans kicked off the season at the two-day, three-session Trojan Swim Invite that saw junior Marta Ciesla win the 100y free while sophomore Isa Odgers won the 200y breast and senior Catherine Sanchez captured the 200y fly. Sophomore Victor Johansson led the USC men with a win in the 1650y free.
Â
Odgers then won a career-best three times (100-200y breast, 200y IM) to lead the USC women in their dual-meet opening win against Utah. Senior co-captain Louise Hansson, the two-time NCAA champion in the 100y fly, also made her season debut with a win in specialty. Sophomore Laticia Transom posted her first two-win day as a Trojan with victories in the 50y and 200y free. Sanchez won the 200y fly for the second meet in a row.
Â
During a desert road trip to Arizona State, seniors Hansson and Naomi Gowlett, Ciesla and Odgers each won a pair of events to lead the No. 7 USC women to win on Nov. 1 while sophomore Alexei Sancov led the Trojan men with two victories in a loss to the Sun Devils squad.
Â
The following day against Arizona, Transom (1:47.97) won the 200y free for USC followed Hansson's first 200y fly victory of the season in 2:00.76. Transom (22.86) and Ciesla (23.27) went 1-2 in the 50y free and, after the break, Ciesla (50.31) and junior Jemma Schlicht (50.47) did the same in the 100y free. Odgers stayed unbeaten in the 200y breast in 2:15.50 while freshman Nicole Pavlopoulou took second (2:17.00). Schlicht then broke thru with a win in the 100y fly in 53.76 with Hansson a rare second (54.04).
