400 Medley Relay

The Cal Bears put together an extremely fast 400 medley relay to close the session, clocking a 3:27.26, the second-fastest time in the NCAA this season.

Only NC State has a faster time and that was just four hundredths of a second faster at the ACC Championships last week.

Keaton Blovad opened with a 52.03 backstroke split, followed by breaststroker Ema Rajic (59.18), butterflyer Izzy Ivey (50.28) and freestyle anchor Abbey Weitzeil (45.77).

USC’s Laticia Transom, Isa Odgers, Louise Hansson and Marta Ciesla finished second in 3:30.73, the 10th-fastest time in the NCAA this year.

Stanford’s Alex Crisera, Allie Raab, Amalie Fackenthal and Anya Goeders took third in 3:31.58.
