Paced by two victories by freshman standout Josh Prenot (100 breast, 500 free) and 1-2-3 finishes in four events, the No. 4-ranked Cal men's swimming and diving team improved to 4-0 with a 163-126 dual meet victory over host Arizona State Saturday (Jan. 26).

Prenot, a newcomer from Orcutt, Calif. who has already set the Golden Bears' school record in the 400 IM (3:41.36) earlier this season, won the 100 breast in a time of 56.64 and captured the 500 free in a time of 4:32.16 against the Sun Devils.

Other 1-2-3 finishes for David Durden's squad were in the 50 free (junior Shayne Fleming, 20.27; sophomore Seth Stubblefield, 20.61; senior Ben Hinshaw, 20.77), the 100 free (Ben Hinshaw, 45.44; sophomore Fabio Gimondi, 45.58; freshman Trent Williams, 46.02) and the 200 back (freshman Jacob Pebley, 1:46.19; senior Nick Trowbridge, 1:49.15; junior Jeremy Bagshaw, 1:51.51).

The Bears were also paced by wins from freshman Michael Haney in the 1000 free (9:22.31) and freshman Trent Williams in the 200 free (1:39.09).

The Bears swam the final two events, the 200 IM and the 200 free relay, as exhibitions.
