-Val Hull
50/100 Free, 200/400 Free Relays
-Jasmine Mau
100/200 Fly
-Maija Roses

-Fly (individual and medley relays)
-Sprint (50 to 200, individual and relays)
-Distance (500 and 1650, 400 IM)
-Breast (individual and medley relays)
-Diving
Outlook:
Really deep recruiting class (in state, nationally, international). Bears don't have a lot of scholly $s with such a small class, but should be able to land 2-3 immediate impact recruits in areas of need. That's predicated on not bringing in a late transfer or recruit in 2017 and leveraging in state talent.
Targets:
-Eva Merrell-Corona Del Mar. Elite flyer/sprinter who could swim 5 relays for Bears. Bears are in good shape in fly with McL and Maddie, but Merrell's relay versatility is huge.

-Samantha Shelton-Laguna Beach. Similar fly/sprint profile as Merrell. Same club as McL, Klaren, Norman, Forker.
