Women’s 200 free relay
In a stunning turn of events, Stanford lost an NCAA title to California in the women’s 200-yard free relay with a disqualification at the 2016 NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.

California’s Farida Osman (21.60), Kristen Vredeveld (21.71), Valerie Hull (21.85) and Amy Bilquist (21.64) wound up with the overall trophy in a time of 1:26.80.

Women’s 200 IM
Stanford’s Ella Eastin provided the Cardinal with some salve to mend its wounds from the 200-yard free relay disqualification by throwing down an American and NCAA record in the women’s 200-yard IM at the 2016 NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Eastin unleashed a time of 1:51.65, downing the American, U.S. Open and NCAA record of 1:51.77 set by Caitlin Leverenz for California back in 2012.
That’s Stanford’s NCAA record ninth victory in the event’s history.
Previous Stanford Winners:
1986 Susie Rapp, Stanford, 2:01.80
1990 Janel Jorgensen, Stanford, 1:58.17
1991 Summer Sanders, Stanford, 1:57.02
1992 Summer Sanders, Stanford, 1:55.54
1995 Jenny Thompson, Stanford, 1:57.63
2009 Julia Smit, Stanford, 1:52.79
2010 Julia Smit, Stanford, 1:53.56
2014 Maya DiRado, Stanford 1:52.50
Eastin moved up from seventh in the all-time rankings with a 1:52.77 at Pac 12s last month.
California’s Kathleen Baker threw down a swift time of 1:52.95, just off her eighth-ranked lifetime best of 1:52.80 also from Pac 12s.
USC’s Kirsten Vose picked up third-place overall in 1:54.27, while Texas’ Madisyn Cox snared fourth in 1:54.80.
Texas A&M’s Lisa Bratton (1:55.89), California’s Kelly Naze (1:55.89), Texas A&M’s Sydney Pickrem (1:56.13) and California’s Celina Li (1:56.16) rounded out the top eight.
It was a huge event for California, moving past Georgia into the lead 113.5-112.

Women’s 50 free
Georgia’s Olivia Smoliga charged her way to an NCAA record in the women’s 50-yard free at the 2016 NCAA Division I Women’s Championships.
Smoliga, who already moved to sixth all time in the event’s history with a 21.46 relay leadoff, moved all the way up to second with a 21.21 to win the sprint free and set the NCAA mark. The swim broke the 2009 record of 21.27 set by Arizona’s Lara Jackson during relay duty in prelims.
Smoliga only trails Abbey Weitzeil, who set the American record with a 21.12 two weeks ago in Austin while swimming for Canyons Aquatics.
Smoliga reclaimed the title she won as a freshman in 2014, and became just the ninth person to win the event more than once.
Multiple 50 Free Winners:
4 – Kara Lynn Joyce, Georgia
4 – Leigh Ann Fetter, Texas
3 – Catherine Fox, Stanford
2 – Maritza Correia, Georgia
2 – Jenna Johnson, Stanford
2 – Jenny Thompson, Stanford
2 – Lara Jackson, Arizona
2—Liv Jensen, California
Smoliga also pushed Georgia into a tie for the NCAA record for most program wins in the 50 free, tying Stanford with a ninth victory.
