The ASU women have won every individual swimming event and two of the three relays so far, but their streak could be in jeopardy tonight.
Deniz Ertan holds the top seed in the women’s 200 butterfly for ASU with the 1:57.46 she swam in prelims coming in eight-tenths ahead of the field. She is the reigning Big 12 Champion in the event, and is the favorite to win tonight.
The women’s 100 breaststroke is a spot where we knew ASU would struggle. Their top seed is Ginger McMahon, who qualified 4th in 1:00.05 in the prelims session, a little more than a second behind Cincinnati’s Joleigh Crye, who earned the top seed in 58.62.
In the 100 backstroke, ASU was dealt a major blow when top seed Miriam Sheehan was disqualified in the prelims of the event for the 15-meter rule after setting the 2nd fastest time. Alexia Duncan leads the field at 52.41 for Houston. ASU’s top seed is Gerda Szilagyi, who comes in at 4th in 53.37 to be the only Sun Devil in the ‘A’ final.
On the men’s side, ASU boasts the favorite in all three swimming events. Ilya Kharun leads the 200 fly final by more than two seconds with the 1:40.37 he swam in the prelims to qualify 1st overall.
The 100 breast sees two Sun Devils at the top of the order with Lucien Vergnes being the only swimmer under 52 in the prelims, touching in 51.90. Andy Dobrzanski qualified 2nd in 52.02, while Arizona’s Tavner Wisdom will be looking to spoil the Sun Devil party as the 3rd seed in 52.17.
Arizona’s Duncan Henderson earned the top seed in the men’s 100 backstroke final with his 44.79, but ASU’s Adam Chaney set a new conference record leading off the 400 medley relay in a time of 43.93 last night, and will be the favorite to win from lane five.
The Arizona Wildcats had a strong morning, and the men’s team will be looking to distance themselves from Utah tonight, as they are projected to pick up about 60 points over the Utes before diving.
The men will also contest the platform diving event tonight, and if it is anything like the other two diving events, we could be in for a very close final.
The session will wrap up with the 200 freestyle relays, and ASU will be the heavy favorites in both, especially after they qualified eight men to the 50 free ‘A’ final on day two of the meet.
