Is this the year when the California Golden Bears Men’s Swimming and Diving can finally put an end to the Texas dynasty? While it is somewhat counter-intuitive that the Cal Bears could be in a more favorable spot than last year, given the graduation of superstar Ryan Murphy, the freshman depth of the Golden Bears and some subpar season performances by Texas (though many “swim experts” expect those Longhorns to swim closer to their time in the past NCAA rather than this year) may just be enough for Cal to win program’s 6th NCAA team national championship in 2018.
