The No. 7 USC Trojan women hosted the No. 3 California Golden Bears on Friday January 29 and came up with a victory in a meet that came down to the last relay. A host of freshmen from both sides played integral parts in keeping the meet close, including Trojan freshman Riley Scott and California freshman Amy Bilquist.
The meet started off with an exciting race for first in the 400 medley relay. The USC team of Hannah Weiss, Riley Scott, Kendyl Stewart, and Anika Apostalon took first with a time of 3:35.33, over two seconds ahead of the California team of Rachel Bootsma, Marina Garcia Urzainqui, Noemie Thomas, and Amy Bilquist (3:37.64). It was then a couple of Trojan freshmen who grabbed first and second in the 1000 free–Allie Wooden won with a 9:50.17 and was followed by Elizabeth Stinson‘s 9:51.53. California’s Bilquist struck back with a win in the 200 free (1:47.12), just a half second ahead of Stinson (1:47.81) who completed a tough back-to-back double.
California freshman Kathleen Baker kept the Golden Bear’s momentum going with a win in the 100 back (52.95). She was trailed by USC teammates Weiss (53.49) and Stewart (53.69). USC’s Scott then convincingly won the 100 breast (1:00.94) and was followed by fellow Trojan freshman Kristen Vose (1:02.08). California then struck back in the 200 fly when senior Kelly Naze won the event with a 1:56.23 and was closely followed by her sophomore teammate Thomas (1:56.58). The California junior Farida Osman then won the 50 free (22.51). USC’s Apostalon was second (22.76), while California’s Bilquist was third (22.78).
