Arizona State vs USC
November 8th, 2025 Tempe, Arizona – Mona Plummer Aquatic Center SCY (25 Yards) Results Final Scores Men: ASU 193 – USC 107 Women: USC 169 – ASU 131
Four pool records bit the dust at Mona Plummer Aquatic Center on Saturday, where Arizona State and USC split their dual meets. ASU junior Ilya Kharun was responsible for three of those records, along with the second fastest 50 fly relay split in history, continuing his habit of producing headline swims whenever he touches the water this season.
In his first college meet of the season against UNLV, Kharun registered a Mason Plummer Pool Record in the 100 fly (43.91) and laid down the 5th fastest 50 fly relay split in history (18.91). He then went on to win the 50 and 200 meter butterfly at all three stops at the Swimming World Cup, setting a U.S. Open Record in the 50 fly (21.69) and a World Cup and U.S. Open Record in the 200 fly (1:48.46) in Westmont.
The final pool record from Saturday was courtesy of ASU’s Adam Chaney, who is also building on early-season speed he displayed in October against UNLV, where he produced the 5th-fastest 50 back relay split in history (20.20).
Men’s Recap
Kharun opened the meet with the 2nd fastest 50 fly relay split in history, clocking 18.79, just one millisecond behind the fastest split of all time, 18.78 set by Kharun at the 2025 NCAA Championships.
Top 10 50 SCY Fly Relay Splits In History:
50 Butterfly Split 1 18.78, Ilya Kharun (2025 NCAAs) 2 18.79, Ilya Kharun (2025 ASU vs USC) 3 18.89, Ilya Kharun (2024 Wolfpack Elite Invite) 4 18.90, Jordan Crooks (2023 SECs) 5 18.90, Ilya Kharun (2025 Eddie Reese Showdown) 6 18.97, Josh Liendo (2024 NCAAs) 7 19.05, Gui Caribe (2025 NCAAs) 8 19.08, Ilya Kharun (2025 ASU vs. Arizona) 9 19.10, Michel Arkhangelskiy (2025 ACCs) 10 19.12, Ilya Kharun (2024 ASU vs. Cal vs. Stanford)
The split wasn’t good enough to earn his team outright victory, however. The ASU ‘B’ and ‘C’ relays tied for first, both clocking 1:22.89. Keep in mind that ASU’s fastest swimmers were spread across three relays. Their fastest combination would have been Chaney (20.54), Andy Dobrzanski (23.32), Kharun (18.79), and Jonny Kulow (18.24) for a time of 1:20.89.
The first of Kharun’s Pool Records came in the 50 free, which he won in a time of 18.54, breaking the previous record of 18.88 set by Tommy Palmer in February this year. The time was just a quarter-second away from his personal best, a time of 18.31 from last season’s NCAA Championships. After Saturday, the top five 50 free times in the history of Mona Plummer Aquatic Center have been swum in 2025.
Kharun’s second record came shortly after in the 100 free. Kharun clocked 41.23, two-tenths removed from his personal best and just under four-tenths ahead of second place finisher Remi Fabiani, who touched the wall in 41.60. The previous record was a time of 41.66 set by Jonny Kulow earlier this year in February. Fabiani, who is a graduate student at ASU, would be the new pool record holder if not for Kharun.
Kharun’s final record came when he produced 43.66 in the 100 fly, breaking the Pool Record for the second time this year. He first broke it in October against UNLV, when he registered a time of 43.91. His swim was just 12 one-hundredths away from his personal best from last year’s NCAA Championships.
Adam Chaney’s Pool Record came in the 200 back. He stopped the clock in a time of 1:39.59, breaking a record of 1:39.64 that was set by Leon Marchand in 2023. The time was a personal best for Chaney by over five seconds.
Kharun and Chaney led what was a dominant meet for the Sun Devils. Only one Trojan swimmer was able to register victories on the men’s side: Krzysztof Chmielewski.
Chmielewski, a junior, took first in the 1000 free and 200 fly, which Kharun did not contest, and was the only swimmer other than Kharun to win multiple individual events. He clocked 8:59.92 to win the 1000, 12 seconds removed from his personal best of 8:47.53 which was set in a dual meet between the Sun Devils and the Trojans in 2023.
Chmielewski was an A-finalist at last season’s NCAA Championships in the 200 fly, where he swam to a personal best of 1:39.66. He registered a time of 1:44.80 to win the event on Saturday, around two seconds slower than he was last November.
ASU freshman Mattia Mauri was the victor of the other distance freestyle event of the meet, the 500 free. He clocked a time of 4:21.44 to win the event, a two second personal best. Junior Filip Senc-Samardzic also registered a personal best en route to victory for the Sun Devils, winning the 200 free in a time of 1:33.92, nearly seven-tenths faster than his previous best.
The 200 backstroke was won in a time of 46.38 by ASU sophomore Lucien Vergnes, and was followed up by senior Andy Dobrzanski coming within one-hundredth of a second of his lifetime best on his way to victory in the 100 breast, which he took in 51.80.
The 200 breaststroke was won by Sun Devil graduate student Jordan Tiffany, who clocked a winning time of 1:52.73 in what was his first official 200 yard breast time since 2018. Junior JT Ewing closed the individual events out with a win for ASU, registering a time of 1:46.82 in the 200 IM, around two seconds slower than his lifetime best which he set just two weeks earlier.
The Sun Devils took the top three spots in the final event, the 400 free relay. The event was won by the team of Reece Grady (45.10), Quinn Seider (42.31), Chaney (41.80), and Kulow (41.39) in a time of 2:50.60. The Sun Devil’s fastest swimmer combination would have yielded a time of 1:45.38.
Women’s Recap
The women’s meet told a much different story from the men’s, with the USC women being the dominant force. The Trojans kicked off the meet with a victory in the 200 medley relay, with the team of Minna Abraham, Bella Brito, Justina Kozan, and Nicole Maier stopping the clock in 1:36.79.
Senior Deniz Ertan responded with a victory for the Sun Devils, clocking a time of 9:43.55 to win the 1000 free, around six seconds slower than she was in late October last year. The victory would end up being only one of three for the ASU women.
Maier, a USC graduate student, was one of three USC swimmers to earn two individual victories. She won the 200 free, touching the wall in 1:45.17, and the 50 free, where she clocked a small personal best of 22.28.
Maier was followed by Junior Minna Abraham, who won the 100 back for USC in a time of 51.46, and the 100 freestyle in a time of 47.65, the fastest she’s been in the event in November.
Ginger McMahon, a senior, registered the second of ASU’s three event wins in the 100 breast, stopping the clock in 1:00.70 and coming within a second of her lifetime best. Justina Kozan then won the 200 fly for USC, registering 1:55.50.
The 200 backstroke was won by USC freshman Dora Molnar, who stopped the clock in 1:54.55. USC senior Ashley McMillan won the next event, the 200 breast, and was the final USC swimmer to earn two individual event wins. She registered 2:10.51 in the 200 breast, and won the 200 IM in a time of 1:57.86, a time good enough to earn her a spot at the NCAA Championships.
Claire Tuggle won the 500 free for the Trojans, the senior clocking 4:43.79 after also competing in the 1000 earlier in the meet. Her time was four seconds faster than when she began the season in early October.
Julia Ullmann, a sophomore, was the final race winner for the Sun Devils. She won the 100 fly in a time of 51.73, coming within four-tenths of a second of her lifetime best.
The final event, the 400 free relay, was won by the team of Maier, Kozan, Tuggle, and Abraham for the Trojans, stopping the clock in 3:13.48. The time is a three second improvement from the Trojan’s season-starting time against Indiana.
Looking Forward
The Trojans will next compete at the Texas Hall of Fame Swimming Invitational in Austin from November 19th-21st. The Sun Devil’s next meet will be the CSCAA Power Four Dual Meet in Knoxville, Tennessee from November 21st through 23rd.
