STANFORD, Calif. - Behind a pool record from senior Ella Eastin and victories from seven different Cardinal, the No. 3 Stanford women's swimming and diving team topped No. 20 UCLA, 168-123, on Friday afternoon at Avery Aquatic Center.
In her final weekend of collegiate competition at Avery, Eastin set her first facility record at her home pool. The Irvine native broke a nine-year-old record with her 4:03.23 effort in the 400-yard individual medley. She eclipsed the mark held by Julia Smit (4:05.14) since 2010. It was the second win of the day for the highly-decorated senior. She was also tops in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:01.40.
Eastin, junior Katie Drabot and junior Erin Voss each won twice in the first of two meets this weekend. Drabot pulled off a distance double with wins in the 500 and 1,000 freestyles. She was tops in the 1,000 with a time of 9:39.28 as she outlasted sophomore Lauren Pitzer (9:41.32), and later won the 500 at 4:45.77 -- just in front of an impressive 4:46.64 from sophomore Katie Glavinovich and a 4:47.75 from freshman Morgan Tankersley.
Voss was tops in the 200 free with a finish of 1:45.92, and then took home the top spot in the 200 backstroke with a time of 1:54.06.
At the Maas Diving Center, freshman Carolina Sculti had an impressive day as the runner-up on the 1-meter (313.95) and 3-meter (312.68). Daria Lenz was third on the 1-meter and Mia Paulsen was third on the 3-meter.
Freshman Anya Goeders earned her first collegiate win with a finish of 22.33 in the 50 free (22.33), while sophomore Hannah Kukurugya earned her first career victory at Avery by more than two seconds in the 200 butterfly (1:57.09).
Freshman Taylor Ruck won the 100 back at 52.16 and freshman Allie Raab was tops in the 200 breast (2:11.22), while the Cardinal won both the 200 medley relay (1:39.80) and 200 free relay (1:30.37).
On Saturday, Stanford hosts No. 14 USC at noon on Senior Day. Prior to the final home meet of the season, the Cardinal will recognize its three graduating seniors, Eastin, Kim Williams and Leah Stevens.
