The Bears ended day one of competition the same way they started — making waves in national times and ranks.

With Cal women's swim and dive's forward-looking mindset, it took every chance in its season to prepare for this meet in Minneapolis.

Indigenous organizers and allies gathered Wednesday on the site of the Ohlone Shellmound in West Berkeley for a Water is Life Prayer Walk in solidarity with the Treaty People Walk for Water, which took place at the same time in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The Berkeley Police Department announced Monday it would be making substantial updates to its use-of-force policies.

Chants of "Black lives matter," booming music and the names of people who have died at the hands of police — all of these could be heard in the Berkeley streets this weekend as thousands of protesters reacted to the death of George Floyd.

The Target stores on University Avenue and Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley will be temporarily closed, as announced by the corporation Saturday.

The Bears had a solid weekend in Minnesota, where they competed in their longest meet of the season so far. They came out second to Texas, with some impressive individual highlights.

Cal senior and Olympic gold medalist Abbey Weitzeil became the first woman to break the 21-second barrier in the 50-yard freestyle as the Bears dominated the Minnesota Invitational.

Abbey Weitzeil does it again! For the second time this calendar year, Weitzeil managed to break her own 50-yard freestyle record with a time of 20.90.
