King of the Pool

Although Cal nearly swept the Triple Distance Meet last year, fans should anticipate a close match between the Bay Area rivals.

With the exception of the two events that the Bears raced as exhibitions, the blue and gold took home first and second in each swimming race.

Since 2012, Cal men’s swimming has faced Utah five times, defeating the Utes by at least 69 points in each matchup.

Seliskar’s outstanding performance in Athens was just one of many this season, as he has been arguably the Bears’ most valuable swimmer in 2018.

After winning last year’s matchup, the Bears came into Friday’s contest determined to continue their dominance over the Mustangs, and this drive was evident in every swimmer’s performance.
