The Bears swept the first three finishes in that event as freshman Rolandas Gimbutis placed second (1:39.44) and sophomore Miguel Molina finished in third (1:39.83).

In the evening's fourth event, Lim won the 100 back (47.13), while Natalizio took second (49.50) and Cavic placed third in 49.68.

Freshman Patrick O'Neil claimed a victory in the 200 butterfly (1:48.96), while junior Steve Rehrmann placed third in that event (1:50.19).

The Bears dominated in both the 50 and 100 free events, as Cal's sprinters took the first though fourth places in the 50 and first through third spots in the 100 free. Draganja was the winner in both races, clocking a 20.24 finish in the 50 and 44.01 in the 100 free. Gueraldi touched the wall in second in the 50 free (20.40), followed by sophomore Matt Lyon (20.68) and Tilly (20.70). In the 100 free, Gimbutis took second (44.88), followed in third place by Gueraldi (44.95).

Natalizio placed second (1:49.00), while Rehrmann finished in third place (1:52.51 and senior Keith Vogelgesang in fourth (1:57.17).
