Pac-12 Women’s Championships Day 4 Prelims: Charlotte Hook Joins Curzan, Huske With Top Seeds
The 2023 Pac-12 Women’s Championships continued with the Day 4 prelims on Saturday from Federal Way, Wash.
The prelims session consisted of the 200 backstroke, 100 freestyle, 200 breaststroke and 200 butterfly. The early heats of the 1650 free will follow leading up to finals.
Stanford is well ahead in the team race and took some top seeds on the final day, including Claire Curzan in the 200 backstroke, Torri Huske in the 100 free and Charlotte Hook in the 200 fly.
Here is a look at the day-four action:
Pac-12 Women’s 200 Backstroke
Stanford’s Claire Curzan cruised to the top seed in the 200 backstroke to start the final day of the conference championship meet.
The freshman touched the wall in 1:50.93, more than two seconds off her seed time, and as she has shown all week, she will likely have plenty of speed in reserve for tonight’s final.
She leads a final that will have five Stanford swimmers and three Cal swimmers.
Cal took the second and third seeds with Isabelle Stadden (1:52.36) and Mia Motekaitis (1:53.42).
Stanford went 4-5-6 with freshman Natalie Mannion (1:53.49), senior Lucie Nordmann (1:53.70 and senior Taylor Ruck (1:53.78).
Of note, in addition to Curzan, Stadden and Ruck were well off their top times and could be set up for a pretty fast final.
Cal sophomore Annika McEnroe took the seventh spot (1:54.28) and Stanford senior Alex Crisera was eighth (1:54.84).
