The 2021 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championship continued Friday with preliminaries on Day 3 of the meet.
The events scheduled are the 400 IM, 100 butterfly, 200 free, 100 breaststroke and 100 backstroke.
Cal has the lead heading into the day, but a late surge from Texas on Thursday night has the meet extremely close with every swim counting for both teams.
