The session will kick off with the 1650 freestyle. Florida’s Bobby Finke is the top seed and will be in Lane 4, looking to repeat as national champion. His seed time is 14:27.70, which is a full 15 seconds slower than his NCAA title-winning time last year (14:12.52).

The 200 backstroke will follow with Cal sending three to the finals and one to the consolation finals in what has become the Golden Bears’ signature event. Cal sophomore Destin Lasco has the top seed at 1:37.80.

Next is the 100 freestyle where Cal’s Bjorn Seeliger became the second-fastest performer in history behind Caeleb Dressel. Seeliger is the top seed in 40.75, and will be flanked by Stanford’s Andrei Minakov and LSU’s Brooks Curry, who have each already won an NCAA title this week so far.

In the 200 breaststroke, Penn freshman Matt Fallon has the top seed in 1:49.03 and will be in a loaded final with Minnesota’s defending champion Max McHugh and  contenders Reece Whitley of Cal, Caspar Corbeau of Texas and Leon Marchand of Arizona State.

The 200 butterfly will see defending NCAA champion Nicolas Albiero of Louisville, in Lane 4 with the top seed (1:39.22). He will be flanked by Cal’s Trenton Julian and Georgia’s Luca Urlando.

Cal is the top seed in the closing 400 freestyle relay and will look to close out a team championship in that final event.
