The competition will feature Cal, Stanford and Auburn making their CSL debuts, while Ohio State will return to action after a fourth-place finish during a battle with Indiana, Louisville and Michigan. The Week Two clash is scheduled for Stanford&#8217;s Avery Aquatic Center, with the first race starting at 5:30.<\/p>\n<p>In its first season, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collegeswimmingleague.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSL<\/a> is trying to generate greater attention on the sport at the collegiate level, a 30-event schedule put together by the organizers. Individual and relay skins races are part of the program, as is a &#8220;Jackpot&#8221; component in which athletes can steal points from competitors if they prevailed by more than a specified margin. Combined team scoring is being used, rather than separate men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s scoring.<\/p>\n<p>Swift performances were the norm during the first weekend of the CSL, led by Virginia&#8217;s <strong>Claire Curzan<\/strong> delivering a 1:46.85 performance in the 200-yard backstroke. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers&#8217; <strong>Thomas Heilman<\/strong> went 1:40.54 in the 200 butterfly and North Carolina State&#8217;s <strong>Jerry Fox<\/strong> clocked 41.79 in the 100 freestyle and 19.13 in the 50 free. Curzan was exceptional in Skins action, as she maintained impressive speed across four rounds of the 50 backstroke.<\/p>\n<p>In Match One, Indiana&#8217;s <strong>Miranda<\/strong> <strong>Grana<\/strong> (200 backstroke: 1:49.54) and <strong>Liberty Clark<\/strong> (100 freestyle: 46.60) headlined for the Hoosiers while Louisville received a 2:06.32 from <strong>Anastasia Gorbenko<\/strong> in the 200 breaststroke and a 19.30 from <strong>Nikita Sheremet<\/strong> in the 50 freestyle. Michigan&#8217;s <strong>Hannah Bellard<\/strong> went 4:36.54 in the 500 freestyle, with teammate <strong>Bella Sims<\/strong> going 1:54.82 in the 200 individual medley.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CSL Match Three: Cal vs. Stanford vs. Auburn vs. Ohio State<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> Friday, Oct. 2 &#8211;
