FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - After day two of competition at the 2016 Pac-12 Championships, the Utah women's swimming and diving team sits in seventh place, while diver Josiah Purss stepped on the podium for the Utes in the one-meter event today.
Stanford leads the competition with 557 points heading into the third day of competition. USC is in second (512) followed by UCLA (477.5), Cal (431) and Arizona (413) in fifth. ASU sits in sixth-place (212.5). Washington State (168) and Oregon State (155) sit behind the Utes in eighth and ninth place.
In the 500 free, Jordan Anderson took second (18th overall) in the "C" final touching in at 4:49.10. Teammate Kat Wickham took eighth (24th overall) with a time of 4:56.17.
Julienne Tadena was 28th in the 200 IM. She came away with a time of 2:03.04. Brianna Francis took 30th (2:03.48) with Genevieve Robertson in 33rd (2:04.72) and Stina Collou in 35th (2:04.98).
In the "C" final for the 50 free, Jenna Marsh and Gillian St.John were fourth and fifth, respectively. Marsh touched in at 22.91 with St. John close behind (22.92). Both results were NCAA "B" standard times.
In the 200 free relay, Marsh, St. John, Rhianna Williams and Dorien Butter took eighth with a time of 1:31.70.
On the board, Josiah Purss put up a third-place finish in the one-meter event. He tallied a score of 385.50. Jacob Crayne took fifth with a total score of 367.10 while Connor Cain was 11th (282.55).
Amanda Casillas was 12th today in the three-meter event, coming away with a total score of 275.05. Lauren Hall was 17th (255.35).
"It was exciting to have Jake and Josiah both vying for a conference championship today," said Utah head diving coach Richard Marschner. "We were the only school with two guys in the top-five and it marks the third year in a row that we've had a medalist on one-meter. Amanda and Lauren did a great job to score points for the team and this was the highest finish either of them have had on three-meter at this meet."
The Pac-12 Championships will continue tomorrow with two sessions taking place. For more information, visit pac-12.org.
