FEDERAL WAY, Wash. – On the final day of the 2018 Pac-12 Men's Swimming Championships, the No. 8 Sun Devils recorded several more impressive times, including an additional podium finish from Cameron Craig.
Importantly, ASU also captured the Territorial Cup Series® point, finishing ahead of Arizona in the standings, to tie the overall race, 6-6. Despite the Wildcats finishing ahead in the final event, the 400 free relay, the Sun Devils had built enough of a lead to finish ahead, 391-387, and capture the T-Cup point.
After defending his 200 free title on Friday, Craig earned his second individual and third overall podium finish of the weekend, taking third in the 100 free.
The Sun Devils scored two in the 200 breast with Christian Lorenz finishing just off the podium in fourth and Jack Dalmolin finishing eighth. Dalmolin set a personal record earlier in the event's prelims as he and Lorenz finished fourth and fifth.
Zach Poti also earned a top-five finish in the 200 back while Josh Vedder had a lifetime best in the C final.
With the addition of men's diving scores from last weekend, Cal won the team title (971) followed by 2017 champion Stanford (769), USC (549.33), ASU (391), Arizona (387), and Utah (295.66). The Sun Devils' fourth-place finish matched last year's, their highest finish at Pac-12's since finishing fourth in 2008.
This upcoming week, the men's and women's diving teams will compete at Zone E Diving Championships (Mar. 5-7), a regional competition of sorts, before NCAA championships pick up in two weeks.
The NCAA Women's Swimming & Diving Championships takes place in Columbus, Ohio (Mar. 14-17) the week before the NCAA Men's Swimming & Diving Championships in Minneapolis, Minn. (Mar. 21-24).
