FEDERAL WAY, Wash. – After three days of competition at the 2018 Women's Swimming & Men's/Women's Diving Championships, No. 22 Arizona State women's swimming/diving remains in third place in team standings and, most importantly, ahead of Arizona, which will determine a Territorial Cup Series® point following Saturday's competition.
Last year's champion, SIlja Kansakoski earned her second straight podium finish in the 100 breast, taking second this year (59.04), after taking the top seed in the prelims. Nora Deleske and Kaya Philapil also had PR's in the prelims to make the B final in the event.
All three Sun Devils made it past prelims to the finals in the 400 IM, led by Marlies Ross with a seventh-place finish and a spot in the A final. In the finals, Ross touched eighth followed by Chloe Isleta in 12th.
In the 100 fly, Fanny Teijonsalo beat her previous fastest time of the season by over a second (53.25) while Katherine Wagner set a new personal record of her own (55.31).
In men's diving, Youssef Selim earned his second spot on the podium of the weekend, finishing third in the men's platform after winning the Pac-12 Championship in the 1-meter on Wednesday.
On the women's side, the Sun Devils earned another place on the podium as Ashley McCool finished in second (367.95) followed by Frida Kaellgren in fourth (329.30) and Mara Aiacoboae in eighth (304.50).
In the final women's swim event of the day, Isleta, Kansakoski, Teijonsalo, and Claire Fisch finished fourth in the 400 medley relay as Isleta set a new PR.
The men's diving scores will be added to next week's men's swimming tallies to determine a men's team champion and a Territorial Cup Series® point.
