NCAA qualifier Macky Hodges has entered the transfer portal just days after finishing her sophomore campaign with the USC Trojans.
Hodges committed to USC back in fall 2021 and at the time was the #16 ranked recruit in the high school class of 2023. She entered USC leading the #9 ranked recruiting class in fall 2023 and was an honorable mention recruit at the time.
As a freshman, Hodges made NCAAs but went on to add from her season best times in all of her individual events. She finished 41st in the 200 free, 45th in the 200 back, and 62nd in the 500 free. She helped the USC 800 free relay to an 11th place finish.
This past weekend, Hodges swam a best time in the 200 back posting a 1:53.58 for 32nd. She also was 47th in the 200 free and 58th in the 200 IM. She swam on the 800 free relay that finished 7th to earn All-American honors while the 200 free relay finished 21st.
Hodges has seen improvement since arriving at USC, dropping almost two seconds in the 200 IM and just under a second in both the 200 back and 200 free.
