California won seven of 10 events in a relay meet against San
Diego State on Saturday at the Aztec Aquaplex. The meet was not scored,
and there was no diving competition.
The defending NCAA and Pac-10 champion Golden Bears trained with the
Aztecs early Saturday morning and then raced their hosts starting at 10
a.m.
"I thought the girls did a very good job of racing in a different kind of
format, racing for the sake of racing," Cal head coach Teri McKeever said.
"That was the goal – to have a racing situation that was non-traditional
in which you didn’t just worry about your time but also concentrated on
having fun and swimming some different things."
The Bears’ trip to the San Diego area has included other types of
training, including swimming in the Pacific Ocean.
"It’s been a great experience," McKeever added. "Every day we’ve been down
here been doing something in the ocean. That’s going really well. We’re
doing some really good work and staying in a house right on the beach.
It’s been fun."
Cal returns to Berkeley to host Fresno State in a dual meet at 1 p.m. on
Nov. 5 at Spieker Aquatics Complex.
