Cal’s Izzy Ivey Named Pac-12 Swimmer of the Meet After Sweeping Individuals

2021 PAC-12 WOMEN’S SWIMMING & DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Cal junior Izzy Ivey was a dominant force at the 2021 Women’s Pac-12 Championships, going three-for-three individually to earn her Swimmer of the Meet honors.

Ivey’s efforts were paramount in helping the Golden Bears secure their first title since 2015, ending Stanford’s four-year run.

Ivey showed off her sprinting versatility by winning the 100 freestyle (47.54), 100 backstroke (51.13) and 100 butterfly (50.87) at the meet, while also contributing on Cal’s winning relays in the 200 free, 400 free, 200 medley and 400 medley. The Bears also won the 800 free to sweep all five relays, a crucial factor in the team victory.
