STANFORD, Calif. – No. 10 Stanford women's swimming and diving continues to rewrite the record books this season, as it was sophomore Lucy Bell who added another "Stanford Top-10" time in the Cardinal's 178-110 win over Arizona on Sunday afternoon.
Bell touched the wall first with a 59.45 in the 100 breast as she entered the all-time Cardinal ranks for the second time this season, also clocking the eighth-ranked mark in program history in the 400 IM at the Texas Invitational. The Fort Collins, Colo., native added a second event title later in the meet, taking the race win in the 100 fly with a time of 51.94.
Natalie Mannion won a pair of races for the second-straight day, joining Bell and freshman Lucy Thomas as the afternoon's multiple event winners. Mannion collected event crowns in the 200 free (1:44.61) and 500 free (4:42.30) while Thomas tallied titles in the 50 free (22.91) and 200 breast (2:12.13).
Sunday's action also provided a rare occurrence in collegiate swimming, as the 100 free saw a tie for the race with Kirsti McEnroe and Jamie Brennan each touched the wall at 49.83. Rounding out the event winners for the Cardinal was Sophie Duncan (1000 free), Caroline Bricker (200 fly), Aurora Roghair (200 back), and Samantha Tadder (400 IM).
Stanford swept Sunday's relay races, with Amy Tang, Samantha Tadder, Lucy Bell, and Kayla Wilson hitting the wall first in the 200 medley relay at 1:39.21, while Tang, Jamie Brennan, Kirsti McEnroe, and Lucy Thomas claiming the 200 free relay win after clocking a 1:30.41.
The Cardinal split events with Arizona on the diving boards, with Lauren Burch highlighting the action with a 323.03 score on the 3-meter dive.
Stanford closes with the home slate with a 4-0 record inside Avery Aquatics Center on the season. The Cardinal returns to action on the road against No. 25 UCLA on Feb. 2 before heading across town to take on No. 4 USC in a top-10 showdown.
