The Bears won six Pac-10 titles in 2008 with Russell claiming the 200 backstroke, William Copeland taking the 50 and 100 freestyles, and Cal winning the 200-freestyle, 200- medley and 400-medley relays. Once the college season ended, two of Durden’s protégés – then-freshmen Dug- onjic and Martti Aljand – competed with several other Bears in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
