Laticia Transom Wins First Career Pac-12 Title in the 200y Free
February 28, 2020 | Men's Swimming & Diving, Women's Swimming & Diving, Features
Hansson picks up fourth consecutive 100y fly Pac-12 title.
Sophomore Laticia Transom earned her first career Pac-12 title in the 200y free while senior Louise Hanson collected her fourth straight Pac-12 title in the 100y fly to lead the Trojans on Friday (Feb. 28) at the 2020 Pac-12 Women's Swimming and Diving Championships in Federal Way, Wash.
Transom, a returning Pac-12 scorer, came back after a reversed disqualification in the 200y free prelims to win the event in a personal best 1:42.47. Transom's time is third in school history, only behind Louise Hansson's two fastest 200y free's.
A first-time titlist at the Pac-12 Championships, Transom won the event by .98, out-touching ASU's Emma Nordin.
USC remained in third place with 768 points after Friday's action. Stanford leads with 1027 while Cal is second (866.5). UCLA is fourth (701.5), Arizona State (635.5), Arizona (530), Utah (422.5) and Washington State (265).
Hansson, the defending NCAA champion in the race, posted a 49.94, her eighth career sub-50 second performance in the event. She led wire-to-wire in the race, built her lead with each 25 yards and finished 1.20 seconds ahead of Cal's second-place Izzy Ivey.
The senior became the first Pac-12 woman to win the 100y fly four consecutive years and she passes Stanford's Janel Jorgensen (1990, 1992-93) and Misty Hyman (1998-99, 2001) as the only women to win it four times overall.
Her win is USC's sixth in the Pac-12 race in the past eight years and the seventh in the last ten years. Combined with her win Thursday in the 200y IM, she is the first Trojan with multiple Pac-12 titles for two consecutive years.
She wasn't alone in the A final either. Sophomore Jemma Schlicht, improved from last years fifth place finish to post a 51.99, earning the third place spot in the A final. Senior Catherine Sanchez finished eighth in the A final with a 53.09.
In addition to USC's three women in the 100y fly A final, sophomore Makenna Turner was fourth in the bonus final, finishing in 54.65.
Senior Tatum Wade posted a season best 1:44.37 to finish fourth in the 200y free A-final.
Sophomore Isa Odgers, touched sixth in the A final of the 100y breast (1:00.59). Other scorer's in the 100 included freshman Nicole Pavlopoulou (1:00.67) who was first in the consolation final, ninth overall. Junior Maggie Aroesty (1:01.33) was first in the bonus final.
Freshman Aela Janvier was one of two USC scorers in the 100y back, finishing third in the consolation final in 53.76, a season best. Senior Hanni Leach posted a 54.15 to place sixth in the same heat.
USC closed an exciting night of racing with a third-place finish in the 400-medley relay. Transom, Odgers, Hansson, and Marta Ciesla posted a 1:36.90 to earn a spot on the podium.
Freshman Nike Agunbiade, in her first Pac-12 3-meter final finished second with 343.70, qualifying for Olympic trials. Senior Carly Souza finished fifth in finals with 318.05.
In the final event of the Pac-12 Men's Diving Championships, freshman George Korovin finished second with 374.00. Senior Henry Fusaro who was third on 3-meter finished sixth with 328.80. Senior Brad Dalrymple was 11th in prelims posting a 245.75.
