VANCOUVER, B.C. - Former California star Dana Vollmer won four titles and set three meet records at the Mel Zajac Jr. International, a long-course meet that recently wrapped up in Canada.

 

On May 28, the first day of the meet, Vollmer posted a time of 1:58.41 to win the 200-meter freestyle and swam a meet-record time of 26.64 to capture the 50-meter butterfly. She clocked a meet-record 58.59 to claim the 100 butterfly on May 29, when she also took fourth in the 200-individual medley with a time of 2:18.05. Vollmer won the 100 free in a meet-record time of 54.94 on May 30, the final day of competition.

 

Vollmer won a total of eight NCAA titles for the Golden Bears and was a key member of the team titles that Cal won at the 2009 NCAA Championships and 2009 Pac-10 Championships. Individually at NCAAs, she won the 100-yard fly in 2007 and the 100 and 200 frees in 2009. She swam on five national-champion relays: the 2007 400- and 800-free relays and 400-medley relay and the 2009 400- and 800-free relays.

 

The Granbury, Texas, product had a busy year in 2009, her final season as a Bear, when she took home the Honda Award for swimming and NCAA and Pac-10 Swimmer of the Year honors. Vollmer won the 100 free and swam on the winning 400- and 800-free relays at 2009 Pac-10s. Also that year, she earned the Golden Goggles Perseverance Award from the USA Swimming Foundation.

 

An international star for the United States, Vollmer has won several gold medals at major meets, including Olympic gold in 2004 as part of the U.S. 800-meter free relay. Earlier in 2010, she won four races - the 100 and 200 frees and 100 and 200 flies - at the Austin Grand Prix in Texas.
