Cal won its sixth NCAA men’s swimming and diving championship Saturday night in Austin, Texas, beating second-place Texas 560-475. The Longhorns had won four straight national titles.

Senior Andrew Seliskar ended his Bears career with four national titles — three in this meet. He set a school record in the 200-yard breaststroke Saturday night, a win that sealed the title for Cal.
