The Arizona State women’s swimming team hadn’t won a Pac-12 event title coming into the 2017 championships since Rebecca Ejdervik three-peated in the 100 breaststroke from 2010-2012. While the current team has a whole new staff from that one, Sun Devil freshman Silja Kansakoski continued the tradition by winning the same 100 breaststroke at the Pac-12 Championships, swimming a 58.44.
Below, Arizona State head coach Bob Bowman discusses Kanasakoski’s swim, and its importance to ASU’s development as a program.

Did Bowman know about her from Rio or…just his did she happen to wind up @ ASU? Finland’s a bit of a stretch from Temoe. Well in any event hope she puts Lily King in her place — second!
