Day 4 (Saturday) Final Heat Sheets

Whelp! It seems like the scratch/no show story from this morning has carried over into this evening’s final session.

Perhaps due to adverse weather conditions developing across the country and with the Cal Berkeley academic semester starting this week, it appears as if the remaining Cal (collegiate) swimmers have pulled out of tonight’s final session. A list that includes

Isabelle Stadden: 100 Back – 2nd 59.56
Keaton Jones: 100 Back – 11th 55.77
Lea Polonsky: 200 IM – 14th 2:18.16
Jack Alexy: 50 Free – T-3rd 22.25
Bjorn Seeliger: 50 Free – 22.51

It seems like the Cal pro-group is staying as the likes of Abbey Weitzeil, Brooks Curry, Farida Osman, and Lucas Henveaux are staying.
