College Station, TX -
Cal is in fourth place after the second of three days of competition at NCAA Championships with 179.5 points.
Cal set an NCAA meet record with its 7:50.94 win in the 800 meter freestyle relay today. In addition, senior Natalie Coughlin's 1:55.82 lead-off was a NCAA record. She was joined on the NCAA title-winning squad by freshman Erin Reilly, sophomore Ashley Chandler, and junior Lauren Medina.
"We are very proud of the girls who were on the relay - that was a goal for us throughout the year and to achieve that goal is outstanding," assistant coach Whitney Hite said. "I couldn't be more proud of the girls."
Coughlin broke the NCAA meet record she set just this morning (57.69) in the 100 meter butterfly preliminary with a 56.88 time in the final. She already holds the NCAA, American, and world records in the event (56.34).
Coughlin pulled a hat trick, taking yet another title today and breaking another meet record with a 57.51 win in the 100 meter backstroke. She also holds the NCAA, American, and world records (56.71) in that event.
Sophomore Ashley Chandler scored more points for the Bears with a fourth-place finish in the 200 meter free (1:57.99).
In consolation finals, Cal's 200 meter medley relay team finished 14th overall (1:53.42 - sophomore Helen Silver, freshman Annie Babicz, junior Emma Palsson, and senior Danielle Becks), Medina finished 11th in the 200 meter freestyle (1:58.81), Silver finished 13th in the 100 meter breaststroke (1:00.85), and Babicz finished 15th in the 100 meter breaststroke (1:09.12).
