The Stanford women have yet to lose an event at the 2017 Pac-12 Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships. In a nailbiter finish against Cal, the Cardinal closed day 2 finals with a new Meet Record in the 200 free relay, just out-touching the Bears by .05.
Simone Manuel got the Cardinal off to a good start, taking the early lead with her 21.44. Teammates Lia Neal, Janet Hu, and Ally Howe followed as the Cardinal touched in a final time of 1:26.44, clearing the former Meet Record of 1:26.77, which they set at last season’s conference meet.
The Cal squad of Abbey Weitzeil, Amy Bilquist, Maddie Murphy, and Farida Osman were also under the previous record with a 1:26.49.
Stanford vs. Cal Splits Comparison:
| Team | 1st 50 Split | 2nd 50 Split | 3rd 50 Split | 4th 50 Split | Final Time |
| Stanford | 21.44 (Manuel) | 21.88 (Neal) | 21.63 (Hu) | 21.49 (Howe) | 1:26.44 |
| Cal | 21.68 (Weitzeil) | 21.85 (Bilquist) | 21.75 (Murphy) | 21.21 (Osman) | 1:26.49 |
Farida Osman nearly ran the Cardinal down with her 21.21 anchor leg, which was the fastest split of the field by over 2 tenths.
Eight girls under 21.9. Wow!
Which of these girls are tapered?
I’m betting none of them…
None in the relays. Only the B and C finalist .
