No UCLA record was safe when Linnea Mack jumped into the pool this year. The junior proved that one last time this season at the NCAA swimming and diving championships a week ago.

The UCLA dive team decided to keep it simple in its preparation for the NCAA Zone E Dive Championships this week.
With limited practice time between last week’s conference championship and the upcoming regional event, the Bruins focused on efficiency.

When UCLA swimming and diving competed in the Pac-12 championships last week, the athletes were not the only Bruins working hard.
They were joined by the school’s record keepers who had to go back in the record book and seemingly update it every time junior swimmer Linnea Mack dove into the pool.

Katie Kinnear came off the last wall in the 200 yard butterfly knowing that she had a little bit extra to give. The senior swimmer, who had trailed USC freshman Madison Wright up until that point, propelled herself forward with one final push, finishing with a winning time of 1:56.60 – .22 milliseconds faster than the rival Trojan.

The fact that Arlyn Upshaw considered quitting was not unusual.
Swimming at the collegiate level for a full four years is an accomplishment in itself – the early mornings and year-round season have a way of taking a toll on even the toughest athletes.

The UCLA diving team won’t be at full strength this weekend when it faces some of the top competition in the country.
The No. 19 Bruins will face No.

No one works harder than UCLA Bruins’ junior diver Annika Lenz.
After a lackluster performance in the Trojan Diving Invitational in early November, where she finished second to Madison Witt of USC, Lenz bounced back in a big way this weekend at the Bruin Diving Invitational, en route to one of the best performances of her diving career.

The women’s volleyball team seized its final opportunities to impress the NCAA selection committee this past week, as two impressive performances against top-10 opponents helped the Bruins earn the No.

The women’s volleyball team continues down the home stretch of the regular season this week. As the Bruins pursue a top-16 seed in the NCAA Tournament, two freshmen – setter Zana Muno and outside hitter/middle blocker Kyra Rogers – figure to be instrumental in UCLA’s tournament berth.

Heading into the second round of Pac-12 play, the women’s volleyball team is 18-0 when it wins the first set against its opposition.
All the wins may not be pretty, as evidenced by Wednesday’s affair with Colorado, but if No.
