Cal Sweeps Desert Trip With Win Over ASU

Story Links

TEMPE, Ariz. – California completed a sweep of its trip to the desert, racing past Arizona State, 181-111, in a dual meet Saturday. The Golden Bears won 14 of 16 events, and sophomore Phoebe LaMay broke her own school record on the 1-meter springboard.
 
Cal, which defeated Arizona Friday, opened the meet by taking the first two races – the 400-yard medley relay and the 1000-yard freestyle behind freshman Chenoa Devine's time of 10:06.20, which was more than seven seconds ahead of the rest of the field.
 
Sophomore Amy Bilquist, who captured two backstroke events against Arizona, came through with a pair of victories in the free at the 100- and 200-yard distances. Sophomore Kathleen Baker, an Olympic silver medalist in the 100-meter back, won the 100 and 200 back, while sophomore Katie McLaughlin prevailed in both the 200 butterfly and 500 free.
 
LaMay opened her day with a win in 3-meter diving, then scored 317.63 on the 1-meter board to break her own school mark of 314.18 set earlier this season vs. Texas.
 
Others to touch the wall first for the Bears were freshman and Olympic medalist Abbey Weitzeil in the 50 free and junior Noemie Thomas in the 100 fly, as she remained undefeated in the event this season. In addition, senior Celina Li captured the 400 individual medley and the Bears won the 200 free relay.
 
"We swam people in some different events and I thought it went well for us," head coach Teri McKeever said. "We're definitely moving in the right direction, but we're going to need to be better for next week. We are looking forward to having USC and UCLA come in because we know they're going to give us a strong challenge. It's parents' weekend for us, so we hope to have a good crowd for both meets."
 
Cal returns to Berkeley for its final three dual meets of the year, hosting USC Jan. 27, UCLA Jan. 28 and Stanford Feb. 11.
