STANFORD, Calif. - Sophomore Katie Drabot won three events while senior Janet Hu prevailed twice and set a pool record to pace No. 1 Stanford women's swimming and diving to a 189-104 victory over No. 13 N.C. State on Friday afternoon at Avery Aquatic Center.
Stanford (3-0) won all but one event and earned its 18th straight dual meet victory, including 12 in a row at home.
Drabot, who also won two events on Thursday, took first in the 200-yard butterfly, 500 freestyle and 200 individual medley. She took first in the fly with a time of 1:54.49, and was three-tenths better than N.C. State senior Hannah Moore in the 500 free (4:43.20). In the final individual event of the day, Drabot and Forde were the only swimmers to break two minutes in the 200 individual medley as Drabot (1:58.66) out-touched her teammate by less than a second (1:59.45).
Hu broke her own pool record in the 100-yard backstroke. The Vienna, Va., native touched the wall at 51.89 to win the event. She broke the record she set last season by two-hundredths of a second.
Hu also won the 100 fly in 52.62 for her fourth win in the last two days – in four different events (she won the 200 back and 50 free on Thursday against Oregon State).
