BERKELEY – The nation's top-ranked team returns to the water on Friday when No. 1 Cal men's swimming & diving travel to the Avery Aquatics Center where they will take on rival Stanford in the annual Triple Distance Meet.

Distance freestylers will race the 200, 500 and 1,000 while individual medley specialists swim the 100, 200, and 400 IM. Both teams will also compete in a pair of relay events.
