Queen of the Pool

As race day approaches, only confidence and skill will determine whether Cal will be flying down to Atlanta for the NCAA championship.

In a back-to-back matchup, No. 6 Cal is lined up to race against No. 24 Arizona on Friday at 2 p.m. and Arizona State at 12 p.m. Saturday. In this annual joint meet, the Bears have an opportunity to get back into the rhythm of competition and weekly races.

The Spieker Aquatic Center pools are heating up for the first time since Oct. 15 as the Bears are diving into their upcoming meet against UC San Diego.

For the first time in four years, the Bears will return to Ute territory, competing in their second dual meet of the season and their first meet out of state.
