After a great morning, California exploded to start finals, going 1:15.27 to grab a come-from-behind win and rattle the American record, missing Stanford’s 2011 mark by just .01. That relay saw the best of everything from the Golden Bears. Tyler Messerschmidt led off in 19.23 and the rest of the relay went straight 18s – Ryan Murphy was 18.7, Tony Cox 18.8 and Seth Stubblefield a crushing 18.4 on the anchor leg to overcome Texas.
