FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - Senior Matthew Jensen gave the California men's swimming & diving team its second individual conference title in as many nights Saturday as the Golden Bears closed out the 2024 Pac-12 Championships in third place at Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center.

Jensen used a late surge to touch the wall first and capture the conference crown in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 41.63, three one-hundredths of a second faster than Jack Dolan of Arizona State and the seventh-fastest time ever in the event at Cal. It's the first Pac-12 title of Jensen's career and gives the Bears the winner in the event for the sixth straight season.

"I had a pretty good idea of what I was capable of," Jensen told the Pac-12 Network. "It's really just execution and discipline."

Graduate student Liam Bell won the conference championship in the 100 breaststroke on Friday.

The Bears had three finalists in the 100 backstroke - graduate student Sebastian Somerset just missed the podium in a time of 1:39.84 while junior Ziyad Saleem was sixth at 1:40.64 and junior Kai Crews placed eighth with a mark of 1:41.33.

Bell was fifth in the 100 free (41.98) and sophomore Hank Rivers finished seventh in the 200 breaststroke (1:53.91).

Cal competed at the Pac-12 Championships without top swimmers Jack Alexy, Gabriel Jett, Destin Lasco, Dare Rose and Bjorn Seeliger, who each competed at the TYR Pro Championships in Westmont, Illinois, instead as preparation for the U.S. Olympic Trials in June.

The Bears now turn their attention to the 2024 NCAA Championships in Indianapolis, where they will attempt to win their third consecutive national title.
