The Stanford men battled closely with Pac-12 rival Arizona State for most of their dual meet on Friday, but the Cardinal pulled together to take the win by 21 points. On the women’s side, the reigning NCAA Champion Cardinal dominated over the Sun Devils.
Pac-12 Champion Grant Shoults registered a pair of wins to highlight the men’s victory. Shoults’ first win came in the 200 free, where he built his lead over ASU freshman Jack Dolan (1:37.30) to win by a second in 1:36.33. Shoults set the pace early on in the 500 free, holding his lead throughout to win it in 4:22.73. ASU’s Ben Olszewski had started to close the gap going into the final 100, but Shoults picked up the pace to outsplit him by over a second on the closing 100.
The Cardinal men also saw some highlights in the breaststrokes. Hank Poppe used his back half speed to take the 100 in 54.57. Pac-12 finalist Daniel Roy was 3rd in the 100 (55.54), but dominated the 200 breast with the only sub-2:00 of the field in 1:57.59.
Arizona State’s Zach Poti, also a Pac-12 Champion, came from slightly behind to top Stanford’s Benjamin Ho, 47.70 to 47.92, in the 100 back. He made it a sweep, taking the 200 back in 1:44.61. Teammate Evan Carlson also won a double, taking the 50 free in 19.97 and the 100 fly in 47.44. On top of that, Carlson had the fastest rolling start relay splits with a 19.14 in the 50 and a 42.96 in the 100.
The reigning NCAA Champion Cardinal women were dominant, earning their 33rd-straight dual meet victory. All-American Katie Drabot was over a second behind at the 900-mark of the 1000 free, but kicked it into gear to out-touch ASU’s Emma Nordin, 9:42.09 to 9:42.41. Drabot went on to make it a triple, sweeping the butterflies with a 53.20 in the 100 and a 1:54.47 in the 200.
Teammate Alexandra Crisera also won multiple events. Crisera, a freshman, swept the backstrokes, holding off Erin Voss (53.72) on the back half to take the 100 back in 53.55. She won the 200 back by over a second in 1:54.53.
Camryn Curry put together a sprint sweep for the Sun Devils. She got her hand to the wall first in the 50 free, clocking in at 23.22 ahead of Stanford’s Ashley Volpenhein (23.36). In the 100 free, she edged out Stanford’s Lauren Pitzer, 50.37 to 50.50.
