LA JOLLA, Calif. – Episode 59 of Tritoncast, the official podcast for UC San Diego Athletics, has dropped and is available to download or stream.
 
On this week's show, we're chatting with 12-time swim All-American and four-time water polo All-American Ciara Franke. The recent UC San Diego grad and NCAA Woman of the Year nominee tells us how she balanced both sports as a Triton, why she turned to baking in her non-existent free time, and what she's doing now in Ireland. Plus, we put her through the ringer as our popular Quick Picks segment returns. 
 
New episodes of Tritoncast premiere each Wednesday are available on the most popular podcasting apps, including Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Audible, Google, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, and Vurbl. In addition, each episode can be heard and downloaded on UCSDTritons.com.
