ON THE COVER
Stanford won its second straight national title at the women’s NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships in Columbus, Ohio. This year’s victory was even more dominant, as the Cardinal scored 593 points to win by more than 200. Coach Gregg Meehan’s squad won eight of the 13 individual swimming events and all five relays, and set five NCAA/American/U.S Open records and an additional three meet marks. Of all the Stanford swimmers who swam at this year’s NCAAs, only two freshmen did not score. (See feature, page 26, and more college championship coverage on pages 16 and 35.)
