BERKELEY – With more swimmers competing in their primary events than the first dual meet of the season, the Cal men's swimming team got its chance Wednesday against Utah to show the strides that are starting to take hold in training as the fall season rolls on.

On the scoresheet, that translated to another big day in the pool as the Bears rolled to wins in 13 of 14 swimming events as well as both diving events en route to a 191-100 victory over the Utes at Spieker Aquatics Complex.

After picking up a season-opening win over Pacific one week earlier, Cal turned its swimmers loose in some of their signature events to open Pac-12 competition. That showed right away as the Bears went 1-2 in the 200-yard medley relay with Daniel Carr, Carson Sand, Michael Jensen and Andrew Seliskar posting a time of 1:26.20 for the victory.

Nick Norman followed with his second 1,000 free win in as many weeks, shaving over a second off his time against Pacific by touching the wall in 9:06.42. Zheng Wen Quah earned the first of two wins on the day, taking the 200 free in 1:37.09  before coming back later in the day to lead a spirited 200 backstroke in which his time of 1:45.27 edged teammate Bryce Mefford by seven-hundreths and fellow Golden Bear Daniel Carr by less than four-tenths of a second.

Carr earned a win of his own in one of his signature events, swimming to a time of 48.26 in the 100 back. Freshman Reece Whitley also added a victory, swimming to a season-best mark of 53.74 in the 100 breast. Senior Andrew Seliskar claimed a pair of wins, taking the 200 butterfly in 1:44.26 and winning the 200 breast in 1:56.81 while Trenton Julian followed his three-win performance against Pacific by taking the 100 fly in a time of 49.54.

Junior Michael Jensen turned in a sprint free double to earn a pair of wins on the day, swimming to a time of 19.96 in the 50 free and a time of 43.81 in the 100 free. The Bears came back from the final break of the day to go 1-2-3 in the 400 IM as Sean Grieshop clocked a time of 3:50.87 to edge freshman teammates Chris Jhong and Whitley. And, in the final event of the day, the team of Seliskar, Jensen, Quah and Sendyk posted a winning time of 2:55.16 to win the 400 free relay.

"There was definitely a big difference between this week and last week," Jensen said. "One of the minor things is that in training we're starting to get into slightly more individual and focused training groups. But also, the atmosphere this week was just different. I think part of that was having the women's team around. We only get a few chances every season to do that and it brings a different dynamic. That was pretty fun."

At Legends Aquatic Center, junior Connor Callahan continued his impressive start to the season as, for the second week in a row, he earned wins on both the 1 and 3-meter boards. Callahan took the 1-meter with a score of 355.13 and won the 3-meter with a final tally of 337.43.

Cal's depth was particularly noteworthy as the Bears swam alongside the Cal women's team for the first time this season. The Bears finished 1-2-3 in five individual events, went top-two in five more and placed first and second in both relays.

"I thought we were good. We're kind of at that in-between stage in shifting our training so you could potentially catch us in a good spot but I think our guys are taking care of themselves a lot better," Cal head coach David Durden said. "In their training, they're focused in on the right things and that's showing up in their racing. There are some details we've got to clean up a little bit but I think for the most part they're really adhering to how they're moving through the water and that's a primary focus. It's good to see across the board in a heat four guys racing really well and really consistent. We don't come off this meet, step back and say this guy's in a little bit different spot than that person. I feel like we're all moving forward in the same direction, which is a good feeling as a coach, and it helps us really outline our next three-week training cycle so I'm excited about that."

Wednesday's meet represented the final home swim meet of the 2018 calendar year for Cal but the Bears will be in action close to home one more time before the focus shifts to 2019 as they head to Stanford for the annual Triple Distance Meet on Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. The fall schedule closes across the country when Cal competes in the Georgia Fall Invitational from Nov. 29-Dec. 1.
