In a huge turn of events, Stanford will stand on top of the podium of the 400 medley relay after a disqualification to the first place team Cal. This is the fourth straight year that Stanford has won the 400 medley relay NCAA title. Cal originally touched first at 3:26.18 after leading the whole way, thanks to a stellar lead off from Kathleen Baker at 49.80 to become the second fastest performer in history in the 100 back.
Stanford had Ally Howe (51.42), Kim Williams (58.51), Janet Hu (50.27) and Lia Neal (46.15) swimming on the relay that won at 3:26.35. Texas A&M moved up to third with Lisa Bratton (51.60), Jorie Caneta (58.60), Sarah Gibson (50.28) and Beryl Gastaldello (47.12) at 3:27.60. Third went to Texas at 3:27.74 with Tasija Karosas (50.83), Madisyn Cox (58.30), Lauren Case (51.72) and Rebecca Millard (46.89).
Watch Ally Howe and Janet Hu’s interview after the race:
Lilly King uncorked a huge 56.17 breaststroke split for Indiana, putting them in the lead at the halfway point while Gia Dalesandro held on to the lead at the 300 with a 50.99 split. Indiana fell to fifth at the end of the race. The fastest butterfly split in the field was Louise Hansson of USC at 49.78 and the fastest anchor split was Louisville’s Mallory Comerford at 46.13. Abbey Weitzeil of Cal originally had the fastest freestyle split at 45.96, but was the one that jumped on the relay for Cal with a -0.13 start.
This is Stanford’s fourth straight title in the relay and their 13th overall. Louisville, Indiana, Georgia and USC also swam in the A-final.

Ouch, says Weitzeil left early. bummer, I didn’t see it, but feel bad for her.
Totally…with.you…with her !!!!
From the results it looks like the Stanford 2nd swimmer went early too…why isn’t that a DQ? http://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/results/2017-ncaa-division-i-womens-championships-live-results/ncaa-college/2017/March/15
NCAA Rules require dual confirmation of machine and an official, or two officials for reaction times of .10 and slower or -.10 and faster. In Stanfords case probably a misfire and neither official called a false start.
Most likely due to combination of a Light touch and leaving off the back plate (where it doesn’t register on the pad)
Thanks
What a loss..for.Cal..Wow !!!!
I can’t find the tv channel
and that is the nail……and Katy Perry cant even help Cal now….
