USC women's swimming and diving finished a solid third for the third straight season at the Pac-12 Championships behind Cal and Stanford.
Senior Katinka Hosszu led the way with three wins in as many races. Right on her tail, junior Haley Anderson went two-for-two in distance swims, while springboard champion diver Victoria Ishimatsu retained her two conference titles.
"This year's Pac-12 meet was the most competitive meet in the past five years and we were in the hunt all the way," USC head coach Dave Salo said. "Our team goal was to challenge Cal and Stanford for the team title then focus on NCAA's.
"Our women did a great job and we had special performances from Katinka Hosszu, Haley Anderson, Tanya Krisman and the diving crew was awesome behind the performance of Tory Ishimatsu. Our team has come along way over the past five years and are knocking on the door to a Pac-12 team championship and NCAA team title."

Some top notch performances for sure. My question is how does Cal have a better swim team than the Trojans year after year or sometimes Arizona? Understand Stanford for the most part. Scholarships for women are enough to not have to worry about walk-on athletes and the cost they would incur. The team won a national title back in 1997 if my memory is accurate so can be accomplished. Women not really close to the top two in Pac-12 meet which Coach Salo seems to have missed in last paragraph.
