Oh, and the Bears won all three individual B-finals.<\/p>\n<p>Durden called that Cal\u2019s best day of the meet, rating it 11 on a scale of one to 10. In comparison, he scored the next two days eight out of 10\u2014despite Cal putting multiple swimmers in the top eight in seven of 10 individual events and Seliskar winning two more titles.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cI think we were a pretty complete team, all the strokes and relays,\u201d Durden said. \u201cWe weren\u2019t exceptional in one area, we were just good all the way through.

They had Grieshop and <strong>Nick Norman<\/strong> scoring in the top four in the 1650 free and Grieshop, <strong>Mike Thomas<\/strong> and <strong>Trenton Julian<\/strong> finishing 2-3-5 in the 400 IM. As expected, freshman <strong>Reece Whitley<\/strong> made an immediate impact with top-five finishes in both breaststroke events.<\/p>\n<p>The Bears have backstrokers, a fact made perfectly clear when <strong>Daniel Carr<\/strong> jumped up to the fourth seed in his infamous 100 back re-swim and when <strong>Bryce Mefford<\/strong> finished third in the 200 back.<\/p>\n<p>And Cal had a Seli.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_361750\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-361750\" data-attachment-id=\"361750\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/complete-team-effort-leads-cal-men-to-dominant-ncaa-swimming-title\/andrew-seliskar-22\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/andrew-seliskar-_PB50581-e1586275065376.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,750\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.

Bick<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After three years of looking so close to his breakout, Seliskar\u2019s moment finally came eight months ago, when he won the U.S. national title in the long course 200 free. He returned to college swimming for his senior year playing the part of the country\u2019s best swimmer.<\/p>\n<p>He won his 200 IM title and another in blowout fashion in the 200 free. On the final night of the meet, Seliskar added another win in the 200 breast. He faced only minimal resistance from Minnesota\u2019s <strong>Max McHugh<\/strong> and Indiana\u2019s <strong>Ian Finnerty<\/strong> on his way to swimming a time of 1:48.70, making him the third-fastest man ever in the event.<\/p>\n<p>Cal had already qualified eight individual A-finalists for the evening\u2019s action, but the Bears swimmers on deck and fans upstairs remained rowdy in anticipation of the coming coronation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always remember these last nights of NCAAs as just being, what team can keep the energy up?\u201d Seliskar said. \u201cWhat team can stay consistent? Everyone\u2019s swimming a lot of races. Just to feed off the excitement of the guys. I\u2019m standing facing our team area, and the guys on the bleachers were just going crazy. Just being able to feed off that energy was a lot of fun, and I as just happy to put up a good swim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the center of all that screaming and cheering was Durden, the Bears\u2019 oft-stoic 12th-year head coach, a man who has now led his teams to four national titles and six runner-up finishes within the last decade.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the moment will go down in Cal lore, when Durden slipped, fell and landed on his backside in exuberance as Carr crushed his re-swim early Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cThat\u2019s the type of energy Dave brings every day. You might not see it on pool deck every meet because he\u2019s a clear-cut guy, but we show up to 6 a.m. practice, and he\u2019s the first one there, bumping house music, drinking coffee, getting everyone fired up,\u201d Seliskar said.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cIt just shows how much he cares about what he does. He\u2019s a passionate guy. He\u2019s really invested in this sport and in this team, more so than just times or finishes. He\u2019s someone that can look at each individual swimmer and put trust in them, put confidence in them and teach them how to be more than just an athlete. He just kind of raises people to be the best they can be, in and out of the pool.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As Durden sat damp, tired and proud, he ran his fingers through his short hair. He couldn\u2019t find the words to properly cap off this landmark week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a blast coaching these guys throughout the course of this year,\u201d Durden said. \u201cI just feel like we\u2019ve been in a really good place. We\u2019ve had challenges, but I think our guys have shown great maturity in solving those things. I don\u2019t know what it means to be national champions again. I just know it\u2019s been really fun to coach these guys. I\u2019m looking forward to the opportunity to get back to campus and do it again real soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Dan D&#8217;Addona contributed reporting.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas entered as defending champion and Texas owned home-pool advantage, but any doubts that the California Golden Bears would take the title at this year\u2019s men\u2019s NCAA swimming championships disappeared<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":361737,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,6,17],"tags":[73622,25422,49727,41709,75565,25659,40780,42513,59685,36522,26464,25841,61771],"class_list":["post-361773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-college","category-commentary","tag-2019-ncaa-division-i-mens-swimming-and-diving-championships","tag-andrew-seliskar","tag-bryce-mefford","tag-daniel-carr","tag-davd-durden","tag-dave-durden","tag-mike-thomas","tag-nick-norman","tag-pawel-sendyk","tag-reece-whitley","tag-ryan-hoffer","tag-sean-grieshop","tag-trenton-julian"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>&#039;Complete Team&#039;
