Cal hosted Stanford in the annual Triple Distance meet on Friday. The unique meet format sees athletes split up into six different categories: sprint free, distance free, back, breast, fly, and IM. All swimmers will compete in three different disciplines with the sprinters and strokes swimmers competing in the 50/100/200 of their chosen stroke, while the distance swimmers race the 200/500/1000 freestyle events and the IMers race the 100/200/400 IM.
The Stanford women and the Cal men both walked away with the overall meet wins with the Cardinal scoring 192.5 points on the women’s side and the Golden Bears scoring 180 on the men’s.
Women’s Recap
Stanford senior Torri Huske swept her events again this year, opting into the IM track instead of the fly track like last year. She was the only athlete on the women’s side of the meet to sweep her events, though a few swimmers won two of the three. Cal sophomore Mia West finished 2nd in all three events.
Huske started with the win in the women’s 100 IM, touching in 52.64 to come in just three hundredths ahead of West’s 52.67. West was out first in 24.12 to Huske’s 24.21, but Huske came back on the Golden Bear swimmer, splitting 28.41 on the 2nd 50 to pass West, who split 28.55.
This was a new best time for Huske, dropping from the 54.20 she swam back in March of 2019. It also seems to be the 3rd fastest 100 IM in history, only behind Gretchen Walsh and Kate Douglass, while West comes in at 4th all time

*verifying times for an event not typically raced at official meets is difficult, so if you know of a swim we missed, please let us know in the comments.
In the 200 IM, Huske swam 1:55.13 for the win. Again, she came in just ahead of Cal’s Mia West, who swam 1:55.30 for 2nd place. This was about a five second add from her lifetime best of 1:49.67 from last year’s NCAA Championships. West’s swim was a new personal best, dropping from her 1:57.05 from the ACC Championships last year.
Huske will now sit in 2nd in the country this season, coming in just behind Aimee Canny‘s 1:55.03 while West will be 4th.
Huske got out fast, splitting 24.36/29.43 on the first 100 to secure a half-second lead over West who split 24.67/29.63. The 2nd 100 saw West split a faster time, but her 34.10/26.91 splits were not quite enough to catch Huske’s 24.10/27.24 on the back end.
Finally, the women swam the 400 IM, which went to Huske. She touched in 4:04.21 to beat West’s 4:04.91 in her most decisive victory of the meet, just seven tenths. Huske split 54.04 on the opening 100 to West’s for the lead. She built her lead on the backstroke and breaststroke legs, turning more than two seconds ahead after the breaststroke. The final 100 saw West split 56.39 to make up more than a second on Huske’s 57.74 to finish 2nd overall.
Both swimmers set new personal best times with Huske dropping from the 4:11.26 she swam in December of 2019, and West swimming the race for the first time on Friday.
Huske’s swim is the top time in the country this season, coming in just ahead of teammate Caroline Bricker‘s 4:04.30. West moves up to 3rd this season, just ahead of Ella Jansen‘s 4:04.96.
With Huske out of the fly events, they were open for Cal to sweep them. Freshman Annie Jia won the 50 in 23.4, touching nearly four tenths ahead of teammate Lilou Ressencourt‘s 23.82.
Jia also won the 100 fly in 51.23, which would have been the 3rd fastest time in the country before this weekend. Ressencourt was 2nd again, touching in 52.06 to rack up four more points for the Cal women.
Ressencourt made up for her two 2nd place finishes with a win in the women’s 200 fly, swimming 1:53.24 to win by almost four seconds over Stanford’s Ella Detter. This also would have been the 3rd fastest time in the country before this weekend. She was only about a tenth off her lifetime best of 1:53.12 from last February.
Stanford swept the backstroke events with Levenia Sim taking the 50 back (24.61) and 100 back (52.67), and Caroline Bricker winning the 200 back (1:54.50).
They also took all three breaststroke events with their pair of Lucys. Lucy Thomas won the 50 breast (26.91) while Lucy Bell won the 100 and 200. Bell’s 100 breast was a new personal best time of 58.27, dropping from the 58.29 she set late last month, and her 200 time of 2:04.76 was only four tenths over the 2:04.28 she swam to win the National Title.
There were no women’s distance freestylers, so there were only three freestyle races. Cal’s Mary-Ambre Moluh won the 50 free in 22.07 and the 100 free in 47.98, which are both season best times for her, and Stanford’s Gigi Johnson swam 1:44.35 to win the 200 freestyle in a personal best time by more than a second, dropping from the 1:45.72 she swam in February of 2024.
The final events of the meet were the mixed 200 free and 200 medley relays, both of which Cal won. The mixed 200 free relay team of Nans Mazellier (19.80), Lucca Battaglini (19.50), Mary-Ambre Moluh (21.39), and Mia West (21.54) swam 1:22.23 to earn a second-and-a-half victory over Stanford.
The mixed 200 medley relay swam 1:29.24 with a MMFF order of Evan Petty (21.48), Yamato Okadome (22.83), Annie Jia (23.08), and Sydney Griscavage (21.85).
Men’s Recap
Cal won the men’s meet with sophomore breaststroker Yamato Okadome as the only male swimmer to win all three of his events.
Okadome won each of his events by at least half-a-second starting with the 50 breast, where his 23.46 swim came in nearly six tenths ahead of teammate Luca Dissendaner‘s 24.04 for 2nd.
In the 100, he swam 50.89, a new season best time and only a little more than two tenths behind Nate Germonprez‘s nation leading time of 50.62. He beat Stanford’s Zhier Fan who finished 2nd in 52.60 by nearly a second.
He wrapped up the events with a win in the men’s 200 breaststroke with his 1:52.20 coming in close to two seconds faster than Daniel Li‘s 2nd place time of 1:53.91. This swim was just off his nation leading time of 1:51.66 from a few weeks ago.
Cal also swept the men’s distance freestyle events with Humberto Najera winning the distance category 200 in 1:37.67 and Nathan Wiffen taking the 500 free in 4:20.15 and the 1000 free in 8:53.62.
Stanford earned the only other team sweep of the meet in the men’s sprint freestyle races. Jonathan Tan won the 50 free in 19.45 to touch seven hundredths ahead of teammate Ethan Harrington. Andres Dupont Cabrera won the 100 and 200 freestyles, swimming 42.78 in the 100 and 1:34.57 in the 200.
Stanford’s Finn Harland and Cal’s Samuel Quarles both won the 50 and 100 of their strokes with Harland swimming backstroke and Quarles swimming butterfly. Harland’s times of 21.92 and 46.92 brought him in just ahead of Cal’s Keaton Jones in both. Jones went on to win the 200 back in 1:40.30, a new season best and the 4th fastest time in the country this season.
Quarles swam 21.12 and 46.58 to win the shorter two fly events. His 50 fly was a new personal best, dropping from the 21.26 he swam at last season’s Minnesota Invite, and he was just off his season best in the 100 fly of 46.23.
Stanford’s Henry McFadden won the 200 fly in 1:43.10, which was about a second off his lifetime best of 1:42.20 from the ACC Championships.
The IM events saw three different men’s champions with Casper Pugaard winning the 100 for Cal at 49.26, Gibson Holmes winning the 200 for Stanford at 1:45.70, and Liam Custer winning the 400 for Stanford in 3:46.06.

Is it too soon to say Stanford looks to be on a better track since the coaching change?
Yes
They got second at NCAAs last year under Meehan, though I am excited to see how they do the rest of the year!
Where was O’Dell?
Those Mia West – Torri Huske IMs were epic! 4:04, 1:55, 52.6 for both, but Huske came out ahead in all three. Was she doing “just enough” to win? 4:04 at the same meet she’s 5+ seconds off her best in the 200 IM is odd, in a good way. Huge PRs for West
Mia West doing so well in the IM was not on my bingo card. She was mostly a sprint free/flyer in Canada before she went to college I think.
Curious to see how she translates this to LCM
if she continues this form im going to guess her floor will be 24 high, 54 mid, 158 mid which would place her as one of the top canadian sprinters at trials
The US helps develop yet another Canadian
Right. No American women ever go from smaller teams to long-established college programs with world-renowned coaches and improve.
Don’t worry, her times will get hit with a 50% tariff when she goes back to long course.
Honestly, she was pretty solid in all events. Absolutely dominated the local competitions. But you are correct, that she was slightly better in freestyle (200m and shorter) and fly.
I’m telling y’all, Stanford women really gonna challenge Virginia more than anyone ever has
Give it another year, it’s too soon
No it’s not 🤣 Stanford made them sweat last year when they had their stars. Virginia doesn’t have the Walshs’s or Douglass, and Stanford still has Huske and others
“Made them sweat” they had a ~130 point lead lmao
They don’t have another year, Huske is a senior
i think they are in a strong position for 2nd – i dont know if they have the depth to match UVA; and it looks like so far UVA is in a strong position for winning the spring free relays and top 3 in the others. them getting curtis & greenwaldt really put them in a strong position.
i do agree that pre those big transfers /intl recruits it was looking to be closer than years past with stanford having a chance if they really hit at NCAA (like they have with greg the last few years) and if UVA was a little down on seed times
Not for Stanford. This is the best year they have to challenge. Next year its Texas’s turn.
Eh, maybe if Curzan would’ve stayed and not ran to UVA.
Cal men really lacking in the sprint free department.
Also, 2:04 from Lucy Bell, wow.
That was the standout swim for me too. WE SEE YOU LUCY
Kate Douglass would teach Lucy Bell a lesson in humility at the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup.
Speaking of the W 200 BR, Lucy Bell finished seventh in the W 200 BR at the 2025 USA Swimming National Championships behind five current/former Virginia Cavaliers.
You’re literally the most useless Swimswam commenter.
What ultimately matters are contributions to USA Swimming. Even collegiate junior Bella Sims walked away with three bronze medals at the 2025 World Aquatics Swimming World Cup tour (Carmel, IN; Westmont, IL).
As for contributions to the medal tally from the Stanford University women’s swimming program at the 2025 World Aquatics Swimming World Cup tour, …….. [crickets].
Would love to see you be this brazen in real life, to these swimmers faces (not to mention Greg Meehan…) but I suspect you’re just a coward who hides behind their keyboard. And if you acted this way in front of any of the Virginia swimmers, they would probably slap you in the face because you know, they are friends with each other (from US National Camps) and probably don’t think kindly to an anonymous “fan” sh*tting on their friends.
But hey, it’s a free country and if this is how you want to be… then so be it.
I believe Regan Smith has only attended one college thus far.
i kinda wanna see her in the 200 free at midseason. i feel like she could end the season around 143
Breakout for Mia West.
Weinstein in the IMs is an interesting choice.
Seems like most of distance group raced off events, most notably Erisman swimming breaststroke
Super strong 200 breast from Bell — seems like that should be the headline?
