Swimming & Diving opens season hosting Chick-Fil-A Invitational Friday and Saturday
The Fresno State swimming & diving team opens its season hosting 2016 national runner-up Cal and its three Olympians as well as Nevada, San Jose State, and San Diego State in the Chick-Fil-A Invitational Friday and Saturday at the Fresno State Aquatics Center.
"It's always exciting having the first meet of the season and we like to host it," Fresno State head coach Jeanne Fleck said. "Having great teams come to our pool is always really fun. We're starting out with a bang and having the No. 2 team in the country come to our pool is always a big honor but also a big hill to climb. We've been getting ready for this; the only way you get better is swimming the best people in the country."
Cal finished as the national runner up to Stanford at the 2016 NCAA Swimming & Diving championships.
The Golden Bears have three Olympians on their roster, including 2016 U.S. Olympic champion Kathleen Baker. The junior won gold swimming the leadoff leg in the 400 Medley Relay and claimed a silver medal in the 100 Back at the 2016 games in Rio De Janeiro. She added five NCAA titles last year and was the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) National Swimmer of the Year.
California senior Noemie Thomas represented Canada in the Butterfly at the 2016 summer Olympic Games and freshman Robin Neumann swam for The Netherlands in two freestyle events. Cal is coached by former Fresno State head coach Teri McKeever, who led the Bulldogs from 1987 to 1992 before joining the Golden Bears.
The invitational begins at 11 a.m. Friday with two sessions and will conclude with a third session starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday. There will be 18 swimming events over the two days while both the 3-meter and 1-meter diving competitions will take place on Friday.

Hmmm, Bears actually had 4 members of this year's team repping their countries in Rio - the above article had left out Abbey, who had earned a silver + a gold respectively in the 4x100m Free & 4x100m Medley relays, not to mention claiming the fastest split of her squad in the free relay where Team USA had achieved a new American Record...
