At 8:30 this morning, the Cal women's swim team left Berkeley for Austin, Texas and the 2011 NCAA Championships which will begin this Thursday.
The Bears have had a tremendous season so far, upsetting No. 1 Stanford in a dual meet last month and falling just short of knocking off the Cardinal for a Pac-10 Championship a few weeks later.
This time around, Cal hopes to come out on top at the NCAA Championships for the second time in three years.
We were out at practice with the Bears on Friday afternoon - as was head football coach Jeff Tedford - and have photos from one of their last workouts before competing for a national title.
