Wang, Erisman Highlight Cal’s Split-Site Meet Day
California swimming and diving wrapped up a busy day of competition Friday, competing at home against NC State and Stanford while also sending athletes to the College Swimming League (CSL) Match 5 on the road.
The day began with men's and women's diving at home against NC State and Stanford. After competing on the 1-meter and 3-meter springboards, the Golden Bears recorded five top-three finishes across the four men's and women's events.
YuTong Wang had a stellar debut in blue and gold, winning the 3-meter event with a score of 336.25 and finishing second in the 1-meter with a score of 319.30. Wang's 3-meter score ranks eighth in program history, while his 1-meter score ranks ninth.
Scott Garman also reached the podium for the men, placing third in the 3-meter springboard with a score of 312.40. Madeline Kohel was the lone competitor for the women, placing second in both the 1-meter (268.30) and 3-meter (270.75) events for the Bears.
From the pool, men's and women's swimming combined for a third-place finish in their second CSL match. The Bears totaled 394.33 points, behind NC State (544.83) and Indiana (469.83) but ahead of Stanford (311). Cal recorded 20 total podium finishes throughout the event.
Rylee Erisman opened the meet with her collegiate debut and made a statement in the first race of the night. The 17-year-old won the 200 backstroke in 1:48.74, marking the fourth-fastest time in Cal history. But that was only the beginning of Erisman's night. She followed up with another fourth-fastest mark in program history in the 100 freestyle, finishing second in 46.69. Erisman earned another second-place finish in the 50 freestyle, clocking 21.66, the sixth-fastest time in Cal history.
Yamato Okadome and Keaton Jones had big nights for the men. Okadome broke the CSL record and won the 100 breaststroke in 51.78 and finished second in the 200 breaststroke in 1:51.82. Jones placed second in the 500 freestyle in 4:14.48 and dominated the 200 freestyle in 1:32.70, finishing more than two seconds ahead of the runner-up. His time was also the fifth-fastest in the nation in the event this season.
Camille Henveaux and Mia West also recorded event wins for the women. Henveaux won the 500 freestyle in 4:38.77, while West took the 100 individual medley in 53.11, the fifth-fastest time in the nation in the event.
The men's diving team returns to action tomorrow at 11 a.m. PT for the platform events.
