Now fully recovered from the USA College Challenge, the Pac-12 Conference star swimmers are back with their teams and ready for a full slate of competition.

There will be plenty of stars in action, but also plenty of interesting meets with many teams doubling up, having two meets throughout the weekend.

On Thursday, the No. 1 Stanford women face Oregon State as Katie Ledecky and Simone Manuel look to shift gears into the conference season. Stanford then faces North Carolina State in a non-conference battle on Friday.

On Friday, USC hosts Arizona State for a dual. The Sun Devils are coming off of an impressive upset victory over Florida State and will look to keep that momentum rolling against the Trojans. This one will be a little tougher as the Trojans are ranked No. 4 in the country.

On the men’s side, USC is No. 10 and Arizona State is No. 8. This could be a statement meet for either team as stars like Arizona State’s Cameron Craig goes head-to-head with USC’s Dylan Carter.

On Friday, Cal will face Oregon State for a women’s dual meet and UCLA will face Arizona in a women’s dual. Cal will then face North Carolina State on Saturday, while Arizona will face USC on Saturday.

On Saturday, Utah faces UNLV and UCLA faces Arizona State.

It should be an interesting week as Stanford and Cal look to keep the momentum going as top teams in the country. Meanwhile, Arizona State, USC and Arizona will look to make a big move and show just how deep the Pac-12 Conference is top to bottom.
