Cal’s Reece Whitley completed a sweep of the breaststroke titles on Saturday night at the 2020 men’s Pac-12 Championships. Whitley, a sophomore, dominated the 100 breast, winning by over 3 seconds in 1:49.85. That nearly took down the Pac-12 Meet Record set by Cal’s Andrew Seliskar last season. Seliskar went on to become the NCAA Champion in this event.
Whitley’s Splits:
- 1st 50- 24.83
- 2nd 50- 27.78
- 3rd 50- 28.64
- 4th 50- 28.60
- Final Time- 1:49.85
This was Whitley’s first time breaking 1:50. He took nearly a second off his former lifetime best of 1:50.62 from last season’s Pac-12 meet. Whitley was already ranked #1 in the NCAA this season, but now he’s ranked #1 by over a second and a half. He set lifetime bests in both breaststrokes at this meet, as he narrowly missed the Pac-12 Meet Record with his 50.85 in the 100 breast last night. He’s the 10th fastest man ever in that event.

Crazy that I once swam in a A/BB/C meet with this monster. Props to Reece, good luck at NCAAs!
Congratulations Reese! So much great swimming ahead for you!
What? He went 1:49.85 and record is 1:49.80, wasn’t he 5 hundredths off the meet record? Still a great swim though.
Fixed, thanks
Excited to see Reece vs Max again in a few weeks.
