Cal sits 2nd after one day of swimming at the 2013 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. Head Coach, Dave Durden says there are always good breaks and bad breaks at a meet like NCAAs. But at a meet where only 30% of the swimmers are posting best times, it seems like most of the Bears are posting PRs. It may not have been a start like last year’s, where Cal won 3 events, but Durden has 5 swimmers who he didn’t even use tonight and the Bears have moved up on the psyche sheet’s projected points. Durden doesn’t look at the psyche sheet but he talks in this interview about how he analysis his team’s performances at a meet like this.

I never get tired of listening to Dave. He is never too high and never too low in his attitude and assessment. Not hard to understand why swimmers respond so well to being part of his program. Go Bears.
Gotta love Durdan, wonder how he feels with his Auburn background watching those sprinters pull out the win in the 200Free
Haha, a 49.ridiculous in the 100 breast stroke…
Durden is correct in saying that each year is it’s own journey with its own results!
