Aliz Kalmar, Fresno State’s First All-American: “The team I had behind me… helped me a lot”

2025 Pro Swim Series — Sacramento

Aliz Kalmar made history two weeks ago by becoming Fresno State’s first All-American in program history, finishing 16th in the 200 breast. This week in Sacramento, Kalmar won the 100 breast (1:07.9) and placed 2nd in the 200 breast (2:29.1), clocking a personal best in the former. The Hungarian national now looks to qualify for the World University Games and World Championships this summer.
