Stanford’s Regan Smith, Carolina Sculti Repeat in Pac-12 Weekly Honors

The Stanford duo of Regan Smith and Carolina Sculti have been named the Pac-12 Women’s Swimmer and Diver of the Week, respectively, for the second straight week in Wednesday’s release of Pac-12 weekly honors.

On the men’s side, USC’s Ivan Puskovitch is the Men’s Swimmer of the Week, along with Utah senior diver Tony Chen.

Smith led Stanford to a sweep of UCLA and USC in dual meets with five total wins. Against UCLA, she won the 200 freestyle in 1:48.37, the 200 backstroke in 1:55.10 and the 200 individual medley in 1:59.65. She showed her depth against USC by branching out to claim the 100 fly (52.62) and 100 back (51.51). She also helped Stanford’s 200 medley relay pick up a win against USC.
