Cal’s Daniel Carr Leads Pac-12 Weekly Honors

The Pac-12 Conference office announced today that Daniel Carr of Cal was named Pac-12 Men’s Swimmer of the Week and Arizona State’s David Hoffer was voted Pac-12 Men’s Diver of the Week.

Men’s Swimmer of the Week: Daniel Carr, So., California (Colorado Springs, Colo.)
Carr helped Cal sweep a pair of road dual meets against No. 14 Arizona State and No. 21 Arizona with two first place finishes and two second-place finishes. The standout sophomore swept the 100-yard backstroke events with a 47.25 time in Tempe and 47.67 time in Tucson, and took home second in the 200-yard backstroke events, as well. Carr helped the No. 1-ranked Bears improve to 4-0 in dual meet action with just two dual meets remaining before the Pac-12 Championships, March 6-9. Carr was also recently named to the USA Swimming Pan American Games roster in Peru, which takes place this August, where he will compete in the 100- and 200-meter backstroke. This marks his first weekly or monthly Pac-12 swimming honor.

Men’s Diver of the Week: David Hoffer, Gr., Arizona State (Littleton, Colo.)
Hoffer had two strong home dual meets against No. 1 California and No. 7 Stanford, winning two three-meter events and placing second in the one-meter events. Although the Sun Devils fell to both the Bears and Cardinal, his score of 405.23 in the three-meter on Jan. 26 against Stanford is the highest score in the Pac-12 this season. His season-high three-meter mark is currently the 24th-highest score in the event in Division I diving and marked the first time a Sun Devil scored 400+ this season. The graduate student earns his first Pac-12 Swimmer of the Week honor, but has previously won three monthly honors, twice as a freshman and once as a junior.

WOMEN’S SWIMMER OF THE WEEK: Katie McLaughlin, Sr., California (Dana Point, Calif.)
McLaughlin went undefeated in five different individual races by more than a full second each and earned a podium finish in three relays in California’s dual meet victories over Arizona State (190-110) and Arizona (179-118) last week. The senior won the 200-meter butterfly (1:55.78) by nearly four seconds and took home the 500 freestyle (4:48.02) versus ASU, while placing first in the 200 free relay (1:30.26) and second in the 200 medley relay (1:40.76). Finished first in three races against the Wildcats, including the 200 free (1:46.81), 100 free (49.29) and 100 fly (52.69) before helping the 400 free relay clock in second at a time of 3:22.22. Her splits on the 200 medley relay at Arizona State (23.42 fly) and 400 free relay at Arizona (48.86) were both the fastest of all swimmers.

WOMEN’S DIVER OF THE WEEK: Delaney Schnell, So., Arizona (Tucson, Ariz.)
Schnell won all four events she competed in last week as Arizona competed against Stanford and California. The sophomore swept the women’s diving events versus the Cardinal with 314.33 points in the 1-meter and then claimed the 3-meter with a score of 369.23, which is just two points shy of the school record and a personal best. Schnell demonstrated her consistency against the Golden Bears, topping the podium in the 1-meter and 3-meter by scores of 342.45 and 317.10, respectively.

That’s not Daniel Carr in your picture. It’s Trenton Julian.
