The Houston Campus Rec & Wellness Center will be busy tonight with the third day of the 2021 Pac-12 Women’s Championships. Tonight, the finals of the 400 IM, 100 fly, 200 free, 100 back, 100 breast, and 200 medley relay will be contested. Earlier in the day, the women’s platform diving final took place.

This morning, a stacked trio of swimmers in the 400 IM went sub-4:10, including top seed USC junior Isa Odgers, yesterday’s short IM winner Cal junior Alicia Wilson, and defending Pac-12 champion Stanford senior Brooke Forde. A total of four Stanford Cardinals will be in the top 400 IM final.

The 100 fly and 100 back finals will feature Cal junior Izzy Ivey. In the fly, USC senior Jemma Schlicht is seeded ahead of Ivey. Meanwhile in the 100 back, defending champ Ivey is also seeded second to freshman teammate Isabelle Stadden. Could Ivey top the 100 fly, defend her 100 back title, or top both?

Sandwiched between Ivey’s swims will be the 200 free and the 100 breast. Answering to Stanford’s 4 A-finalists in the 400 IM, Cal qualified four Bears into the 200 free A-final, led by senior Robin Neumann and senior Forde. Yes, Forde will swim the 400 IM/200 free double tonight. In the 100 breast final, USC freshman Kaitlyn Dobler will shoot for her first Pac-12 title, joined by Cal junior Ema Rajic and defending Pac-12 champion Stanford junior Allie Raab.
