MEN'S SWIMMING & DIVING Three Pac-12 squads finished among the top four at the NCAA Championships and four teams placed in the top seven. CALIFORNIA paced the Conference with a second-place finish (406.5), followed by ARIZONA in third (313.5) and USC in fourth (289). STANFORD came in seventh with 282 points, ARIZONA STATE finished 18th (53) and UTAH rounded out the Conference contingent in 33rd place (11). The Pac-12's seven representatives in the top 10 led all conferences. Cal claimed its first Pac-12 Conference Championship since 1981, ending Stanford's 30-year lock on the league crown. The Golden Bears accummulated 825 points to edge second-place Cardinal (800), and USC took third with 638.5 points. Arizona's Kevin Cordes swept the breast stroke events, while Cal standout Tom Shields won both butterfly events and USC's Vladimir Morozov took the 50 and 100 freestyle in spectacular fashion, setting an NCAA record in the latter. Cordes was named the Pac-12 Swimmer of the Year after a season in which he excelled on both the collegiate and international circuits. He set a pair of American records in the 100 and 200 breaststroke early in the season and followed it up with a pair of medals at the 2012 FINA World Swimming Championships in December. Then he added Conference titles in the 100 and 200 breaststroke. At the NCAA Championships, Cordes established new NCAA, American and U.S. Open records in the 100 and 200 breaststroke en route to picking up Swimmer of the Meet honors. Pac-12 Freshman of the Year Josh Prenot broke the California school record in the 400 IM in a fall meet and bettered the mark at the NCAA Championships. Cal's David Durden was named the Pac-12 Men's Swimming Coach of the Year for the fourth-consecutive year. Stanford's Kristian Ipsen, the Pac-12 Men's Diver of the Year, enjoyed a successful campaign in all three diving disciplines. The 2012 Olympic bronze medalist set a Conference record on the 3-meter springboard at the Pac-12 Championships and took home the league title on the onemeter springboard en route to picking up Men's Diver of the Meet honors. He followed up with a record-setting performance on the one-meter springboard at the NCAA Championships, during which he also won his second national title on the three-meter and took second on the platform. Arizona's Rafael Quintero, the Pac-12 Freshman Diver of the Year became the first Arizona freshman in more than a decade to win the platform title at the Pac-12 Championships. Stanford's Rick Schavone was named the Pac-12 Diving Coach of the Year after leading four Cardinal divers to the NCAA Championships, where Ipsen claimed titles on the one-meter and three-meter springboard events. 2013 PAC-12 CONFERENCE MEN'S SWIMMING & DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS (51st Annual) Diving: Feb. 27-March 2, 2013 - Swimming: March 3-6, 2013, Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatics Center, Federal Way, Wash.
