Golden Medals: Cal Athletics in Golden Age of winning team national championships

Cal Athletics is celebrating National Championship Week this week, culminating with all the 2016-17 school year national champions being honored at the Cal Football game against Weber State on Saturday. For this past year, Golden Bears claimed team national championships in Men’s Water Polo (NCAA), Rugby 15’s (Varsity Cup), and Rugby 7’s (Collegiate Rugby Championship). Despite a surprisingly complete shutout in crew (Bears only managed a bunch of 2nd place finishes), Cal also continued the streak of claiming individual and relay swimming (NCAA) national championships.

Ryan Murphy won both 100 and 200 Back.
