A lot of nice early season times for our Bears. Can you imagine if Abbey came back and swam with Emily, Eloise, and Izzy on a relay!!!UrsusArctosCalifornicus said:

BROOKE FORDE SWIMS 4:39 500, 2:09 200 BREAST AT CAL/STANFORD WOMEN'S DUAL
While the meet was not scored, Cal swimmers won 7 of the 9 events.
Freshman Emily Gantriis opened things up for the Bears, taking the 50 free with a 22.24 in her first race at Cal. Teammate Eloise Riley came in 2nd with a 22.44.
Riley went on to win the 100 free, swimming a 48.90, which is just off her personal best of 48.76. Gantriis came in 2nd in the 100 free, clocking a 49.22, and teammate Elise Garcia made it a 1-2-3 performance for the Bears with her 49.33.
Isabel Ivey also put up a pair of big swims for the Bears. Ivey kicked off the meet with a decisive win in the 100 fly, posting a 51.77. She took the race out very quickly, splitting 23.79 on the first 50. Ivey also swam a 100 back time trial later in the meet, where she swam a 51.52.
Cal's Isabelle Stadden also swam the 100 back time trial, finishing right behind Ivey in 51.72. Stadden also posted a huge win in the 200 back, swimming a 1:51.16.
Teammate Alicia Wilson nearly swam a lifetime best in the 200 IM, touching in 1:54.69. Wilson has a personal best of 1:54.68, which she swam in December of last year.
Another Bear, Ayla Spitz, won the 200 free with a 1:45.98, with teammate Nicole Oliva taking 2nd in 1:46.85.
Cal's other event "win" came from Rachel Klinker, who won the 200 fly in the tightest race of the day. Klinker got out to the early lead, hitting the 100 mark in 55.44, while Stanford's Hannah Kukurugya was 56.28 at the halfway mark. Kukurugya closed the gap on Klinker in the back half of the race, finishing in 1:56.10, just behind Klinker's 1:56.02.

froski Stadden had apparently lowered her mark from last week to hit a 1:49.77 in the 200 Back earlier today - this lifetime best time would lift her up a spot, vaulting to #5 on Cal's Top 10 , just behind Natalie's 1:49.52... well done Isa!

A report of yesterday's 2020 Stanford Invite has yet to be published at this point in time, but here are a few noteworthy results where our Bears had achieved a time that currently ranks in the top 30 tier in the NCAA and that is faster than their swim @ last week's dual @ Spieker v. the Furdettes (may have missed some stats in the absence of any officially published results...looks like some races were also held in long course format):200 Back

Also in the results it shows Zheng Quah as a senior. Is this a mistake or is he possibly a 5th year sr?
The Pac-12 teams will have a disadvantage as already Texas, Virginia, and the Sec teams have had numerous meets. Previous years we relied on the Dec invitations for many to reach the 'A' qualifying marks. Will there be any other meets prior to the Pac-12's championship that will get us ready for the NCAA 'ship?UrsusArctosCalifornicus said:

The automatic qualifier breakdown for Cal's Woman and Men teams indicates they both some recruiting and training work to do to regain their respective top ranking.
Which new and returning team members are most likely to raise their numbers to qualifying levels?

2020-2021 NCAA WOMEN'S SWIMMING & DIVING POWER RANKS: DECEMBER EDITION
#3: CAL GOLDEN BEARS (FINAL 2020 POWER RANK: 3RD)
Cal lags pretty far behind the rest of the top 6 in returning psych sheet points. But Cal has also generally moved up from seed at NCAAs, so scoring out the psych sheet doesn't give a completely fair view of where this team would have finished last year. Losing Abbey Weitzeil is a major blow. But in their dual meet with Stanford, Cal's crew looked pretty solid. Star freshman Isabelle Stadden was 1:51.1 in the 200 back, and Izzy Ivey swam very well with two wins.

Off to a great start!. Stadden, Rajic, Ivey and Neumann lead a 1-2 Cal finish in the 400 medley relay in 3:29.22.
Sarah DiMeco keeps it rolling, winning the 1000 free in 9:44.10 - #4 in Cal history and fifth-fastest in the country this year.
Tea Laughlin (54.07) and Ayla Spitz (54.34) lead a 1-2 Cal finish in the 100 back.
USC's Kaitlyn Dobler sets a pool record (58.31) and Ema Rajic lowers her own school record (58.79) in a blistering 100 breast.
Another 1-2 result in Cal's favor, this time in the 200 fly - 1. Rachel Klinker (1:55.85) and 2. Alicia Wilson (1:56.30).
Robin Neumann posts the #8 time in the country in the 100 free, touching in 48.34 and one-tenth ahead of Emily Gantriis.
Down goes another record! Isabel Ivey resets the Cal dual-meet record with a 1:55.54 winning swim in the 200 IM.
What a way to close out day 1 of racing - a pool and dual-meet record in the 200 free relay! 1:27.78 by ERiley, Neumann, Gantriis and Ivey. Back with more vs. USC tomorrow.
