Moluh Named ACC Women's Swimmer Of The Week
Freshman Set School Record In 100-Yard Backstroke
California freshman
Mary-Ambre Moluh has been named the ACC Women's Swimmer of the Week, the conference office announced Tuesday.
Moluh, who swam on two relays for France at the 2024 Summer Olympics, had a dominant performance at last week's Minnesota Invitational in Minneapolis. She won three individual events and was part of four winning relay teams, highlighted by a program record time of 49.68 seconds in the 100-yard backstroke that was also the third-fastest mark in the nation this season.Â
Moluh also won the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 21.68 – the fifth-fastest mark in the country this season – while also adding a victory in the 100 free with a time of 48.01. All four of the relays Moluh helped win registered NCAA qualifying times while also ranking among the nation's top 10 this season.
Moluh's time in the 100 back also qualified her for the 2025 NCAA Championships, and she registered an NCAA provisional qualifying time in the 50 free.
The Golden Bears won the Minnesota Invitational team title with 1,873.5 points, easily outdistancing runner-up Minnesota's 1,390 points.
Cal is now off until it resumes the dual meet season Jan. 17 against UCLA.
