Louise Hansson Shatters NCAA Record, Wins Third Straight 100 Fly Pac-12 Title
March 01, 2019 | Women's Swimming & Diving, Features
Scott, Vose finish 2-3 in 100 Breast, Trojans third after Friday's racing.
Junior Louise Hansson broke U.S. Open, NCAA, Pac-12 and USC records en route to her third straight Pac-12 title in the 100y fly on Friday (March 2) at the 2019 Pac-12 Women's Swimming and Diving Championships in Federal Way, Wash.
Hansson, the defending NCAA champion in the race, lowered her school record from 49.80 to an eye-popping 49.34, erasing Kelsi Worrell's old mark of 49.43. She led wire-to-wire in the race, built her lead with each 25 yards and finished 1.33 seconds ahead of Cal's second-place Katie McLaughlin.
USC moved into third place with 724 points after Friday's action. Stanford leads with 1154.5 while Cal is second (964.5). Arizona State is fourth (644) and is followed by Arizona (576), UCLA (557), Utah (357), Washington State (189) and Oregon State (110).
Hansson became the first Pac-12 woman to win the 100y fly three consecutive years and she joins Stanford's Janel Jorgensen (1990, 1992-93) and Misty Hyman (1998-99, 2001) as the only women to win it three times overall.
"I'm very happy with the swim," Hansson said. "I knew I could go that fast, but I didn't think I would do it here. But what I loved most about the race was the support I got from the team and how everyone came running up to me after the race."
Her win is USC's fifth in the Pac-12 race in the past seven years and the sixth in the last nine years. Combined with her win Thursday in the 200y IM, she is the first Trojan with multiple Pac-12 titles in the same year since Haley Ishimatsu won the 3-meter and platform in 2014. She is the first USC swimmer to do it since Haley Anderson won the 500y and 1650y free in 2013.
She wasn't alone in the A final either. Freshman Jemma Schlicht, in her first Pac-12 final, finished fifth in a PR 52.13 with senior Maddie Wright, in her third straight 100y fly A final, sixth (52.34) and sophomore Caitlin Tycz, also in her career first A final, seventh (52.47).
Hansson also wasn't the only Trojan to reach the podium Friday. Senior Riley Scott (59.37) and junior Kirsten Vose (PR 59.43) finished second and third, respectively in the 100y breast. It was Scott's fourth top 2 in the race (she won it last year) and Vose's second A final in the event.
USC closed an exciting night of racing with a second in the 400 medley relay. Hansson, Scott, Schlicht and sophomore Marta Ciesla posted a season-best NCAA A cut 3:29.83. Hansson's 50.74 would have been third in the 100y back A final.
Junior Naomi Gowlett, in her fourth career Pac-12 final and second on 3-meter finished seventh with 292.75. She totaled 270.30 in prelims. Junior Carly Souza was 12th (251.85) while senior Madi Witt (15th, 242.40), freshman Alyson Tam (16th, 229.20) & freshman Adriane Tam (22nd, 182.50) also scored in the event.
Junior Tatum Wade and freshman Laticia Transom tied for first in the B final of the 200y free in 1:44.20, a PR for both and a time that would've been fifth in the A final.
Freshman Isa Odgers scored twice Friday, first as USC's only scorer in the 400y IM, finishing 15th (4:17.52). She later finished 19th in the 100y breast (1:01.92). Sophomore Maggie Aroesty also scored in the 100y breast, taking 12th (1:01.14).
In addition to USC's four women in the 100y fly A final, junior Catherine Sanchez finished 10th out of the B final in 52.62 while freshman Makenna Turner was 15th (53.75). Seniors Tamara Santoyo (54.53) and Lily Dubroff (54.63) finished 21st and 22nd, respectively,
Junior Hanni Leach was USC's only scorer in the 100y back, finishing 13th (53.75).
In the final event of the Pac-12 Men's Diving Championships, junior Brad Dalrymple took 11th on platform (227.60) while junior Caleb Dixon was 14th (203.55).
The Pac-12 Championships conclude Saturday with prelims at 10:30 a.m. and finals at 6 p.m.
