Abbey Weitzeil Skips Pac-12 Championships Session With Arm Injury

The 2020 Pac-12 Women’s Championships continued on Friday with a full session from Federal Way, Washington, but without Cal’s Abbey Weitzeil.
The senior sprinter was a declared false start in the 200 free, an event she was expected to contend for a title.
Weitzeil did not compete in the session. Sources confirmed she hyper-extended her arm on the finish of the 50 free earlier in the meet. The same thing happened to Weitzeil at the NCAA Championships last year. It caused her to wear a wrap during the NCAA Championships, which caused one of Cal’s NCAA records to only be an NCAA record and not an American record because of USA Swimming rules regarding the wrap.
Cal released this statement: “Abbey injured her arm at the finish of the 50 free Thursday night and was held out of the 200 free relay as a precaution. She will be evaluated session by session to determine her status for the remainder of the meet.”
Southern Cal’s Laticia Transom won the event, going a 1:42.47 in Weitzeil’s absence.
