Three Bears Named To U.S. National Junior Team

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – A trio of California men's swimmers earned spots on the 2021-22 U.S. National Junior Team, announced Monday by USA Swimming, the national governing body for the sport.
 
Sophomore Dare Rose was joined by freshmen Jack Alexy and Gabriel Jett on the U.S. National Junior Team. Both Alexy and Jett qualified in two events.
