During the third night of finals at the 2023 Women’s Pac-12 Championships, two meet records fell just moments apart. Torri Huske and Kaitlyn Dobler took down the Pac-12 Championship records in the 100 butterfly and 100 breaststroke, respectively.
The first record to fall was in the 100 butterfly when Stanford sophomore Torri Huske swam a 49.27 to replace Louise Hansson‘s mark of 49.34. Hansson, now a two-time Swedish Olympian, swam that time in 2019 to earn a conference title while competing for USC. Huske was just 0.10 seconds slower than her personal best time in the 100 butterfly during her swim, trailing the 49.17 she hit at NCAAs in 2022.
Huske won the event by a solid margin, touching over two seconds before silver medal recipient Mia Kragh of Cal who posted a 51.63. Julia Heimstead took bronze for Arizona with a 52.03.
After Huske’s swim, USC junior Kaitlyn Dobler took down the meet record in the 100 breaststroke, hitting a 57.10. Dobler broke her own record in the event from last year when she won the Pac-12 title in a 57.13. Dobler holds the all-meets conference record in the 100 breaststroke as well, which is the 56.73 that she swam at NCAAs in 2022.
Dobler took gold for USC, her teammate Isabelle Odgers was the second-fastest in a 58.92, and Claire Grover from UCLA swam a 59.37 for bronze.
