In a heavily contested rivalry meet, the unranked men of Arizona State upset the No. 17 Arizona men with a final score of 168-132. The Sun Devil women, however, did not fare quite as well–they fell to the Wildcat women in a final score of 208-88. The meet also featured exhibition swims between Michael Phelps and Matt Grevers, among others, for a little bit of Olympic hype and excitement.
The men’s meet kicked off with an Arizona State victory in the 200 medley relay. The team of Richard Bohus, Christian Lorenz, Tadas Duskinas, and Patrick Park clocked a 1:25.65, a full second ahead of the Arizona team of Chatham Dobbs, Andrew Sovero, Chad Indensohn, and JP Beach (1:26.92). A couple of Wildcats then took the top two spots in the 1000 free and finished just four tenths apart from each other. The sophomore Chris Wieser grabbed first with a 9:01.60, while junior Ty Fowler followed closely behind with a 9:02.00. The Arizona State junior Juan Tolosa was third with a 9:05.35. The Sun Devils fired back at the Wildcats with a 1-2 finish of their own in the 200 free when the junior Barkley Perry finished with a 1:36.06 and classmate Thomaz Martins clocked a 1:36.66. Arizona freshman Parks Jones was third (1:37.20).
Arizona State had another 1-2 finish when senior Bohus grabbed first in the 100 back (46.74) and junior Reid Elliot was second (47.43). Chatham Dobbs of Arizona was third with a 47.48. ASU’s Lorenz grabbed first in the 100 breast (53.18) and was followed by Arizona’s junior Gage Crosby (54.80) and Sun Devil freshman Danny Comforti was third (55.01). Arizona sophomore Patrick Park took the 200 fly with a time of 1:43.32, two tenths ahead of Arizona’s sophomore Justin Wright (1:43.52). The Wildcat sophomore Moose Skjaerpe was third with a 1:47.11. Bohus added another victory to his personal repertoire when he won the 50 free (19.83). Arizona’s junior Renny Richmond was second (19.85), while Duskinas was third (19.97).
