BERKELEY, Calif. - The No. 7 California men's swim team (5-0, 3-0 in Pac-10) defeated No. 8 USC (3-2, 1-2), 168.5 to 128.5, in a dual meet Saturday afternoon at Spieker Aquatics Complex.
USC was led by Tamas Kerekjarto who won two individual events in the 200 Fly (1:47.13) and 200 IM (1:47.87). Kerekjarto's time in the 200 IM was just off of his nation's best 1:47.68 he swam a day earlier at Stanford.
