Utes set four pool records in win over Trojans
SALT LAKE CITY - No. 25 Utah Men's Swim rolled past Pac-12 rival No. 21 USC, 164-91, in the season finale at Ute Natatorium.
"We have made a conscious choice to do more lifting and harder training this season," head coach Joe Dykstra said. "It has affected us in dual meets but we pulled off slightly as the season comes to a close. I think that preparation has us really popping and looking sharp heading into the Pac-12 Championships."
The Utes took 12 of 14 events against the Trojans and put forth an impressive performance. Tyler Klawiter set a new Don Reddish pool mark in the 1000 free at 9:12.59 and Andrew Britton did the same in the 100 breast (54.41). Britton was back in the 200 medley relay with David Fridlander, Cooper DeRyk and Liam O'Haimhirgin and the group matched the pool mark in 1:26.81.
Utah was not finished making history in the relays with DeRyk, Fridlander and both O'Haimhirgins winning the 200 free and setting a new pool standard at 1:20.08.
Finn O'Haimhirgin also won the 200 free in 1:38.84 as DeRyk took the 50 free in 20.33. Fridlander, a Pac-12 Swimmer of the Week award winner, captured both the 100 (48.38) and 200 back (1:48.97)
Utah did not let its foot off the gas pedal and continued to dominate their counterparts from Southern California. Felix Chiun was first in the 100 free (44.77) and Jaek Horner was tops in the 200 breast (2:02.73). Rahiti De Vos was the best in the 500 free at 4:27.66 and Jackson Cunningham touched the wall in front of everyone in the 400 IM at 4:03.67
The Utes head to the Pac-12 Championships, Mar. 4-7 in Federal Way, Wash.
