WOMEN'S SQUAD
Entering her third season at the helm, Maurer returns major star talent from her undefeated 2023-24 squad, including four fifth-year All-Americans. NCAA 100y breaststroke champion Kaitlyn Dobler returns for her fifth and final season alongside two-time Pac-12 50y freestyle champion and two-time Olympian Anicka Delgado. Other top returners include fifth-year All-Americans Caroline Famous and Vasilissa Buinaia.
Last season, Maurer earned the Pac-12 Women's Swim Coach of the Year Award following an undefeated dual season that include historic wins over Cal and Stanford. Additionally, the Women of Troy won seven conference swim crowns at the 2024 Pac-12 Championships and ultimately finished eighth at the NCAA Championships. Freshman phenom Minna Abraham turned in a stellar first-year campaign that included five All-America honors and five conference crows, earning her the title of Pac-12 Women's Swim Newcomers of the Year.
Other top returners for the Trojans include Olympian and distance freestyle specialist Marlene Kahler and All-Americans Macky Hodges and Claire Tuggle.
USC welcomed Big Ten transfer Ella Ristic during the offseason, a graduate student from Indiana. At IU, Ristic was a three-time All-American and a member of Indiana's 2024 Big Ten Championship team. As a senior, the freestyle specialist was named to the All-Big Ten First Team.
Seven new Women of Troy will represent USC this season including New York High School State Champion Cornelia Fox, Montana High School State record holder Julia Huffmaster and five-time CIF Central Division II Champion Alexa Wong.
MEN'S SQUAD
USC returns a pair of All-American swimmers this season in Krzysztof Chmielewski and Chris O'Grady. Additionally, three Trojans opted to return for a fifth year, as Ryan Abdollahi, Ben Dillard and Danny Syrkin will represent this season.
Troy added some veteran talent over the summer with addition of All-American transfer Luke Maurer (Stanford) and breaststroke specialist Anthony Fitzgerald (Wheaton College).
11 Trojan rookies join the squad this season, with high school standouts Diggory Dillingham, Nasim Elkassem and Pierce O'Grady looking to be instant-impact additions to the team.
