Stanford 2nd at NCAAs after massively outperforming expectations.  Tremendous performance by the Card!  And many of Stanford's current stars -- other than Torri Huske -- were not as highly recruited as the top swimmers on other teams.  I'm thinking of Lucy Bell (200 BR winner), Caroline Bricker (400 IM winner), and Aurora Roghair (runner up in 1650 and 500).  Big props to the team.

  1. Virginia                          544       2. Stanford                        417
  3. Texas                            394        4. Indiana                          312
  5. Tennessee                     298        6. Florida                           232
  7. Louisville                       209.5     8. California                        202.5
  9. Michigan                       196       10. NC State                        164

Based on qualifying times and diving scores, Texas was expected to score 114 points more than Stanford.

In a story written before tonight's finals:

"Coming into the meet, Texas had a substantial psych sheet advantage over Stanford. We scored out the swimming psych sheet and had Texas projected to place second behind Virginia with 390.5 points. Stanford was seeded fourth with 333. At the conclusion of the Zone diving meets two weeks later, we scored the diving psych sheets and found that Texas was in position to add another 58.5 points on the boards, while Stanford projected to score 2.

Texas – 449
Stanford – 335
