I Men: Cal Takes a Commanding Lead After Day One of the Dallas Morning News Classic"},"content":{"rendered":"

DALLAS, January 17. ONE of these seasons, Cal's vaunted corps of sprinters and stroke specialists is going to…win NCAAs.<\/p>\n

Maybe this year. <\/p>\n

For the second consecutive year, Coach Nort Thornton's No. 3-ranked Cal Golden Bears — who did in fact win back-to-back NCAA Championships two decades ago but never quite made it to the top during the Matt Biondi era — shattered three meet records on Day One of the Dallas Morning News Classic this evening at Perkins Natatorium. <\/p>\n

Instead of just adding two pool records, as the Bears did last year, Cal broke three Perkins' marks and leads the Classic with 186 points. No. 6 Florida is second (157) while No. 7 Minnesota is third (136). Host SMU is in sixth place with 113 points. <\/p>\n

Cal wasted no time, breaking the meet- and pool-record in the Classic's opening race, the 400 medley relay, as they posted a seasonal-best 3:12.10. The time broke the old mark, set by Tennessee in 1996, of 3:15.63 and also tops their previous seasonal best of 3:12.15 from the Longhorn Invitational at Texas last month. <\/p>\n

However, they're still No. 2 nationally as Texas' 3:10+ from the same meet ranks first. <\/p>\n

The Bears' Malayasian Olympian, junior Alex Lim, who ranks second in the 100 back (46.83), led off with a relatively modest 48.09. However, Croatian Olympian Duje Draganja's 42.69 anchor gave Cal the win and the record going away. <\/p>\n

Georgia's Robert Margalis, last season's NCAA runner-up in the 400 IM, followed with a national qualifying-time of 3:48.00 in his specialty to put Coach Jack Bauerle's Bulldogs on the board. <\/p>\n

Margalis is the Georgia record-holder as a freshman last season (3:41.42). He ranks No. 2 all-time among Southeastern Conference swimmers to former Florida NCAA champ Greg Burgess' 3:40.64; and the latter's time is the second-fastest performance ever. <\/p>\n

(Double Olympic gold-medalist Tom Dolan, when he was at Michigan in the mid-'90s, set the current American\/ NCAA record with his 3:38.18 from the '95 national collegiate championships in Indianapolis — coincidentally won by Michigan too.) <\/p>\n

In the Classic's fourth event, Cal freshman Michael Cavic, Swimming World<\/i>'s prep Swimmer of the Year last season for Tustin High in Southern California, won in a season-best 19.85. His previous 2002-'03 pr, a 19.91 from Texas, had ranked him second nationally so he stays put but improves upon his in-season best. <\/p>\n

His career pr is a 19.61 from last spring's national club swimming championships at Belmont Plaza. <\/p>\n

Cavic got his name into the record book with his next swim, setting a pool- and meet-record in the 100 butterfly. His winning time, a pr 46.94, broke broke SMU's Olympic and World Championship gold medalist Lars Frolander's 47.64 from a few seasons back.<\/p>\n

Cavic is now No. 2 to teammate Lim's Cal-record 46.76, also from Texas. When Pac-10s and NCAAs roll around, look for this duo to make things quite interesting for Stanford's Peter Marshall, Matt MacDonald, Jayme Cramer and — lest we forget — double-defending NCAA champ Ian Crocker of Texas. Crocker is American\/NCAA record-holder with his 45.44 from last season's championships.<\/p>\n

(Biondi went a 46.33 pr during his career but that swim was done while representing Thornton's son Rich's San Ramon Valley team.) <\/p>\n

Arizona State's Joona Puhakka broke the two-year-old pool and meet-record in the one-meter diving competition with his score of 391.50. The old mark, set in 2001, was 374.45. <\/p>\n

Now it was Lim's turn to shine and he didn't disappoint, breaking his own meet- and pool-record of 47.62 in the 100 back — set last year — with a fast 46.99. Cal senior Quentin Byma made it three-straight victories for the Bears when he touched first in the 100 breast with a pr 54.97 –10th nationally. <\/p>\n

Florida won the concluding event, the 800 free relay, with a 6:35.01. That time was also a meet record, breaking Cal's mark set last season and boosts the Gators into fifth on the yearly list. <\/p>\n

The Classic gets underway Saturday night at 7:30 PM CST. <\/p>\n
