13 Bears entered the University of Tennessee swimming den this weekend for the NCAA championships, finishing 11th overall.

Coach Jennifer Wong leads the Bears to the best record through nine games (3-6) since 2019 after Oregon win and Colorado loss. Cal accomplished this feat in a stunning 13-12 win against Oregon on Friday, but went on to lose 3-20 to Colorado on Sunday.

Having suffered its first Pac-12 defeat since 2017, Cal looks to regain its bearings and defend their NCAA title in Minneapolis. Going off of the Bears’ best individual performances this season, the blue and gold still look to have a significant chance of winning it all.

Cal men’s tennis came back after its loss to Columbia, winning against the Mustangs of SMU and the Sun Devils of ASU. However, the Bears ended their four straight matches at home with a loss to the Wildcats of Arizona.

A three-game road trip against the Beavers, where the series ended in a tie at 1-1-1, dropped the Bears one spot in the rankings, from fifth to sixth in the conference. The matchup against Fresno State, however, showcased a shutout by the Bears as they went on to win 3-0.

In considering how to lift Son to his former heights, I realized that saving Spurs doesn’t just mean reviving one man. It means elevating the entire team from the ground up.

Cal put on a dazzling performance as it picked up two big wins on home sands.

Last Saturday at Haas Pavilion, Cal men’s gymnastics welcomed No. 1 Oklahoma to its last home meet of the season to face off in a head-to-head battle of technique and endurance.

Shining bright at Stanford were the men’s hammer throwers and women’s pole vaulters who totaled two meet records and four top-10 program marks.

The Bears have been making waves in the water polo world, and they continued their dominance over the weekend with impressive victories over Harvard and Indiana University.
