Leon Marchand, Hubert Kos Lead Arizona State Over USC; Trojan Women Win<\/strong><\/p>\n

The firepower of the Arizona State men was on display Saturday as the Sun Devils hosted Southern California at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center. ASU’s men won all but two swimming events in a 208-92 triumph, while on the women’s side, a balanced effort helped the Trojans earn a 189-111 victory.<\/p>\n

Arizona State had two individual triple-winners in the meet, both individual world champions earlier this year.\u00a0Leon Marchand<\/strong> scored wins in the 100 breaststroke (51.96), 200 breaststroke (1:52.70) and 100 butterfly (44.66). He fended off strong efforts from USC’s\u00a0Chris O’Grady<\/strong> in both breaststroke distances while setting a new ASU school record in the 100 fly. Meanwhile,\u00a0Hubert Kos<\/strong> placed first in the 100 backstroke (45.99), 200 backstroke (1:41.47) and 200 IM (1:42.71).<\/p>\n

In the opening 200 medley relay, the team of\u00a0Jack Dolan<\/strong>, Marchand,\u00a0Ilya Kharun<\/strong> and\u00a0Jonny Kulow<\/strong> scored the win by more than three seconds in a time of 1:22.37. Kharun split a blazing 19.30 on fly before Kulow came home in 18.60. Shortly thereafter, Kharun won a high-profile showdown in the 200 fly, which featured four of the top five swimmers in the country so far this season, with only Marchand absent. Kharun led wire-to-wire to take the win in 1:40.07, beating USC’s\u00a0Krzysztof Chmielewski<\/strong> (1:41.20), ASU’s Alex Colson<\/strong> (1:43.17) and USC’s\u00a0Michal Chmielewski <\/strong>(1:43.52).<\/p>\n

Additionally for ASU, Dolan doubled with wins in the 50 free (19.14) and 100 free (42.31), and Julian Hill<\/strong> clocked 1:33.51 to win the 200 free. The team of Dolan, Kulow, Patrick Sammon<\/strong> and\u00a0Cam Peel<\/strong> dominated the 400 free relay in a time of 2:49.57, with Dolan leading off in 42.28 and Kulow splitting 41.68.<\/p>\n

Krzysztof Chmielewski, the World Championships silver medalist in the 200-meter fly<\/a>, was the only USC swimmer to place first in an event as he dominated the longer freestyle races. He clocked a time of 8:47.53 in the 1000 free before winning the 500 free in 4:18.08. In diving, USC’s\u00a0Laurent Paradis<\/strong> topped the field in 1-meter (352.13) while\u00a0Sean Wang<\/strong> won 3-meter (382.20).<\/p>\n
