Coming off a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships that included six event titles this past week, nine Golden Bears have been named All-Americans by the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America.
 
Eight Cal swimmers were chosen to the first team based on placing among the top eight in either relay or individual race. The list features:
 
Kathleen Baker
Amy Bilquist
Katie McLaughlin
Maddie Murphy
Farida Osman
Noemie Thomas
Kristen Vredeveld
Abbey Weitzeil
 
In addition, Marina Garcia was selected honorable mention for her 12th-place showing in the 200 breaststroke.
 
Baker was elected as the CSCAA Swimmer of the Year following victories in the 200-yard individual medley, the 100 backstroke and the 200 back, becoming the third Bear to win three races at one NCAA meet. She is the sixth Cal swimmer to be so honored, following Natalie Coughlin (2001, '02, '03), Dana Vollmer (2009), Caitlin Leverenz (2012), Elizabeth Pelton (2013) and Missy Franklin (2015).
 
In addition to Baker, other Cal event winners were Osman in the 100 butterfly, the 200 free relay (Weitzeil, Murphy, Bilquist and Osman) and the 200 medley relay (Baker, Weitzeil, Thomas and Osman).
