This meet is a battle year after year, with good races in every event from top to bottom. This year was no exception with more than half the event wins coming by 4 seconds or less. The girls’ 100 Freestyle had just a 1.37 second difference from 1st to 4th place. The Golden Bears proved they are ready to step up to the competition. With HHC looming next week, this meet was a great sign of things to come for the Golden Bears.
