2019 Men’s Pac-12 Championship Day 2 Prelims: Stanford, Cal Load Finals

Cal swimmers got off to a quick start by winning both relays on night one. The Bears hope to remain on top with Andrew Seliskar, Trenton Julian, Sean Grieshop and Nick Norman taking four of the top eight seeds going into this morning’s 500 free, though Brooks Fail of Arizona hopes to keep the top seed heading into tonight’s finals.

Andrew Seliskar of Cal hopes to hold onto his top seed in the 200 IM despite his back to back events with the 500 free minutes before his race. Stanford’s Abrahm DeVine, who is currently in second, will be fighting for the win in the 200 IM this morning.

The 50 free will be a close race, as the top eight seeds are only separated by .46 seconds. Going into the morning Cal’s Pawel Sendyk holds the top seed, followed closely by Arizona’s Chatham Dobbs and USC’s Kyle Grissom.
