Kyle Grissom Posts Two Wins To Lead USC Victory Over Utah On Senior Day
February 23, 2019 | Men's Swimming & Diving, Features
Senior sprints posts pair of lifetime bests, four Trojan seniors win in final home meet.
Senior Kyle Grissom posted a pair of lifetime bests with wins in the 50y free and the 100y fly while seniors Patrick Mulcare, Carsten Vissering and Billy Monjay also won races to lead the USC men's swimming team to a 139.5-109.5 win over Utah on Saturday's Senior Day at the Uytengsu Aquatics Center.
USC improved to 5-2, 3-2 in the Pac-12. Utah dropped to 4-3, 0-3.
Grissom, a team co-captain with Monjay, won the 50y free in 19.35 to lower his PR by 0.25 and just 0.12 off of the pool record. He came back to win the 100y fly in 46.80, also a quarter second under his previous best, while leading a 1-2-3 USC finish. Senior Alex Valente was second (47.34) and sophomore Ariel Spektor was third (47.59).
Mulcare and Vissering each won their respective specialties. Mulcare captured the 200y back in 1:43.37 while Vissering won the 100y breast in 51.75, the latter in another USC sweep. Junior Mario Koenigsperger was second (53.36) with Monjay third (54.53).
Monjay was later victorious in the 200y breast in 1:58.47 with Vissering second (1:58.54) and Koenigsperger third (1:58.88).
Freshman Victor Johansson swam away with the 1650y free in 14:55.56, just outside of USC's all-time top 10 and 5.50 seconds off of Larsen Jensen's school record in the race. Fellow freshman Owen Kao was third (15:25.91). The duo went 1-3 again in the 500y free as Johansson won in 4:21.63 with Kao touching in 4:26.80.
Freshman Alexei Sancov (1:36.62) led a 1-2 Trojan finish in the 200y free as junior Thomas Reed followed to the wall with a 1:39.03.
USC opened the meet with a pool record relay win as Mulcare, Vissering, Grissom and sophomore Nikola Miljenic won in 1:24.63, breaking the 2016 Cal time of 1:25.39.
The Trojans closed the meet with another pool record as Sancov, Grissom, Miljenic and Vissering won in 1:18.98, breaking USC's 2012 mark of 1:19.25.
Next up for USC is the Pac-12 Championships in Federal Way, Wash., March 6-9.
