Senior Day on the Farm, and Stanford sent 8 seniors out in style with some pool records and a thorough drubbing of the golden bears.
Senior Simone Manuel (although she has another year left after redshirting for Rio) nailed a 21.4 anchor split to lead the Cardinal to a come from behind win in the opening 200 Medley Relay for Pool Record #1.
Katie Ledecky then took over, winning the 1000 free by over 50 yards, resting while kal's slowest swimmer finished over a minute behind her, then got right back up on the blocks to win the 200 free in 1:43. Phenomenal.
kal Olympian Abby Weitzell set a pool record in the 50 free, narrowly edging Manuel.
Seniors Janet Hu and Ally Howe also set pool records in the 100 and 200 backs, respectively.
Margin of victory could have been much more, but Stanford "exhibitioned" several scoring swims in the back half of the meet in a sportmanship gesture (which they did not do in crushing $c a couple weeks ago).
Pac 12's in 2 weeks, and NCAA title #116 (I think) in March!
