Stanford Women Win 2016 Collegiate Synchro Title

While the Texas Longhorns and Georgia Bulldogs were off winning the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships in Atlanta, Georgia, the University of Florida’s Stephen C. O’Connell Center was playing host to another collegiate aquatics championship: the 2016 U.S. Collegiate Synchronized Swimming Championships.

While many athletics departments have their synchro teams aligned among their other varsity sports programs, it’s not yet a recognized NCAA sport. Instead, this annual event is organized by USA Synchro – the sport’s national governing body and equivalent of USA Swimming – who recognizes 21 varsity programs.

Over the four-day meet that concluded on Saturday, the Stanford Cardinal came away with the overall team title, beating-out their primary rivals the Ohio State Buckeyes.
