USC Men’s Swimming Headed North For Pac-12 Championships
February 27, 2023 | Men's Swimming & Diving
The USC men's swim team, led by first year Trojan head coach Lea Maurer, will travel north to Federal Way, Wash. to compete at the 2023 Pac-12 Swimming Championships beginning March 1 and continuing through March 4.
The hotly competitive Pac-12s features four teams in the top 25 heading into conference championships, including top ranked Arizona State, No. 2 California, No. 10 Stanford and No. 19 Arizona. During the 2022-23 season, the Trojans finished 5-3 (2-3 conf.).
The four-day meet will be hosted at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, Washington. All finals sessions throughout the week will be streamed or televised (schedule below).
Men's Pac-12 Diving Championships Recap:
Over the weekend, the USC men's diving squad swept the 2023 Pac-12 Diving Championships, claiming the men's 1-meter, 3-meter and platform events for the first time since 1999. USC's all-time Pac-12 diving title count now stands at 37, with many coming under the tutelage of head coach Hongping Li.
In his Pac-12 Diving Championship debut, freshman Laurent Gosselin-Paradis exceeded expectations, winning a pair of conference crowns and earning the title of swimmer of the meet. Gosselin-Paradis won the men's 1-meter and platform events, en route to his MVP meet title.
Senior All-American George Korovin was victorious on 3-meter, picking up his second career conference title after winning on platform last season.
Diving's points will be added to USC's overall team score before the swimming championships kick off.
