1650 Free: 0/0 for Cal vs 2?/0 for Texas (updated after all but top-8, including two Longhorns have swum)
200 Back: 3/1 for Cal vs. 1/0 for Texas
100 Free: 1/0 for Cal vs. 2/1 for Texas
200 Breast: 1/3 for Cal vs. 1/1 for Texas
200 Fly: 2/1 for Cal vs 0/0 for Texas
Platform Diving: 0/0 for Cal vs. 0/1 for Texas (13th or 4 points for Harness)
Total: 7/5 for Cal vs. 6/3 for Texas
It will likely come down to how the swimmers do in the finals tonight. For the optimists, Cal does have the top seed in 200 Back, 100 Back, and 400 Free Relay. The bonus points for winning an event could end up being the difference.
200y Breast - This could have been worse. Cal's Whitley and Texas's Corbeau are in the A-Final. Texas's Jake Foster just missed out by placing 9th. The B-Final will have three Bears in Hugo Gonzalez (I was hoping for him to make the A), Jason Louser, and Liam Bell.
Instead of an extra A-Finalist, we got two extra B-Finalists. That *could* still be important 10+ points pick up IF they finish near the front of the B-Finals.
100y Free - Seeliger with the top seed, but two Texas Longhorns (Kibler and Krueger) also made the A final with a 9th place (B-Final berth) to Auchinachie.
200 back: Cal goes 3A/1B, Texas goes 1A. That’ll probably offset 2 of Texas’ distance freestylers. Probably need to outgain Texas by another 2 more A finals to feel good about putting it away in the morning.
200y Back - THREE Cal Bears in the A-Final (top-seed Destin Lasco, Daniel Carr, and "Calympian" Bryce Mefford) to just one for Texas (Carson Foster). Colby Mefford will also score points from the B-Final. This was mostly expected with Colby jumping from 21st seed to 13th best finish in the prelim, when he got to swim with his brother Bryce.
Thanks for your work Ruey. Just checked the results and Cal blew the last event. Finished third with Texas first. Still won the championship by fifty points. Go Bears!
The team win is essentially clinched!
Great coverage all month long Chris and Ruey!
