Abbey Weitzeil Hits 21.82 50 Free, Cal Swimming Beats UCLA

Weitzeil’s first race was the 50-yard free, which she won in 21.82 to now give her the three fastest 50 free results in Cal swimming dual-meet history. She set the school dual-meet record last weekend when she was timed in 21.73 vs. Arizona State. Weitzeil then went 21.90 in a victory at USC Friday before Saturday’s effort.

Weitzeil came back a few minutes after her 50-yard race to earn the win in the 100 free in 48.06 seconds.

Wilson took first in the 200 back in 1:57.90, then claimed the win in the 400 individual medley in 4:18.15. Over the past two weekends covering Cal swimming’s dual meets against UCLA, USC, Arizona State and Arizona, she has eight event victories, including all four of her IMs.

Spitz earned first place in both distance freestyle races, touching in 9:58.39 in the 1000 and in 4:51.57 in the 500. Ivey prevailed in the 100 back (53.32) and 100 butterfly (53.89).

Others to come out on top were Robin Neumann in the 200 free (1:48.51), Rachel Klinker in the 200 fly (1:57.83) and Ali Harrison in the 200 breaststroke (2:20.29). The Bears also swept both the 200 medley relay and the 200 free relay to give them 13 wins in 16 events on the afternoon.

Cal swimming is now 7-0 overall and 5-0 against Pac-12 schools, which includes Friday’s 161.5-136.5 victory at USC. The Bears wrap up their dual-meet schedule at Stanford on Saturday, Feb. 15.
