October 26, 2017 | Swimming
LOS ANGELES – Washington State University fell to Pac-12 Conference foe No. 7 USC 162-100 Thursday evening. The Cougars took home four individual victories, with newcomers Emily Cook and Clothilde Peseux taking three along with junior Jasmine Margetts.
Â
"We swam strong tonight, very gutsy performances all around," head coach Tom Jager said. "Emily (Cook) was impressive tonight and swam very disciplined races. I was very proud of our Cougs tonight. They swam with a lot of heart."
Â
Freshman Emily Cook continues to perform well in her rookie season. Cook took first in two individual events and was a member of the third place 400 Medley Relay team. Alongside teammates Clothilde Peseux, Anna Brolin, and Hannah Bruggman, the team was able to clock in at 3:46.24, merely four seconds behind second place from USC. Cook's individual wins came in the 100 and 200 back. She clocked in at 55.23, nearly one second faster than the second place finisher. Cook finished the 200 back with a season best time of 2:00.96 for first place, just ahead of teammate Taylor McCoy who clocked in at 2:02.40. Cook's time in the 200 back is the tenth fastest in program history.
Â
Juniors Jasmine Margetts and Clothilde Peseux earned first place finishes as well. Margetts clocked in at 4:20.87 for first in the 400 IM, while teammate Peseux took third with a time of 4:31.33. Peseux claimed the 100 breast with a season best time of 1:04.45.
Â
Hannah Bruggman also swam well for the Cougars. She took second place in both the 50 free and 100 free. Bruggman finished the 50 free with a season best time of 23.25. She also clocked in at 51.73 in the 100 free.
Â
The Cougars continue their road trip Saturday with a stop at UCLA beginning at 11 a.m.
