ASU swimming used time to their advantage Saturday afternoon, defeating UCLA after a quick turn around from USC.

The Arizona State women’s swim team came back strong Saturday crushing UCLA 189-111.

The ASU women’s team had a quick turnaround Saturday afternoon after they took on USC Friday evening.

The Sun Devils executed great speed against UCLA, coming in first or second in almost every event.

Some of the best performances from this afternoons meet was from the freshman Caitlyn Wilson and sophomore Chloe Isleta.

Isleta had an outstanding performance today sweeping first in both the 100 and 200-yard backstroke.

Isleta raced a time of 54.64 sweeping first place for the Sun Devils. This was over a half second drop from her 100 backstroke against USC with a time of 55.52.

“Her training has been fantastic,” Bowman said. “What we want to do with Chloe is get her to NCAA and score points and I think she’s on track to do that.”

Alongside Isleta’s successes, Wilson had one of the most grueling line ups against UCLA.

Wilson competed in the 1000-yard freestyle, the 200 fly, and the 500 free with very short rest time.

“She’s such a tough racer, and when we all don’t have the men’s events in between they come up really quick. I thought she did a great job today,” Bowman said.

Wilson finished first in the 1000-yard freestyle with a time of 10:05.05, scoring 9 points for the Sun Devils.

The ASU women’s swim team’s defeat over UCLA verified that they are competitive and determined.

“I think their into it now. They’ve had enough meets now, they know the flow of it and they know what it’s going to be like. Their stepping up and really having fun which is what we want,” Bowman said.
