March 09, 2019 | Men's Swimming & Diving, Features
Trojans finish fifth overall.
Junior Mark Jurek made his first career appearance in a conference A final, sophomore Nikola Miljenic made his second while junior Mario Koenigsperger clocked a huge 200 breast squad to highlight USC's final evening at the 2019 Pac-12 Men's Swimming Championships on Saturday (March 9) in Federal Way, Wash.
Â
USC finished fifth with 366.5 points. California won the team title with 949 points. Stanford (716) was second and followed by, Arizona (570), Arizona State (459.5), USC and Utah (335).
Â
Jurek, in his first career Pac-12 A final, finished seventh in the 200y fly with a season-best 1:441.41. Senior Walker Bell was 11th overall in 1:45.31.
Â
Miljenic, fourth earlier in the week in the 50y free, tied for sixth in the 100y free tonight in 42.80. His prelim effort of 42.68 was a PR, which he lowered again in the leadoff of the 400y free relay to 42.56 in the final race of the meet. The time moves him into sixth on USC's all-time top 10 list.
Â
Koenigsperger threw down a huge swim to win the B final of the 200y breast in 1:53.72, lowering his PR by 2.46 seconds with a time that would have been fourth in the A final and fifth in prelims. He's now the second fastest Trojan ever in the race behind only three-time Pac-12 champion
Â
Freshman Victor Johansson, the 500y free title winner Thursday, was eighth in the timed final of the 1650y free in 14:57.15 while fellow freshman Owen Kao scored with a 14th-place finish in 15:21.61. Senior Patrick Mulcare finished second in the B final of 200y back in 1:41.83.
Â
In the final race of the championships, USC was sixth in the 400y free relay with Miljenic, senior Kyle Grissom, freshman Alexei Sancov and and senior Patrick Mulcare going a season-best 2:53.27.
