Stanford wins third straight NCAA championship in 2019
San Rafael, CA - Stanford women's swimming and diving won its third straight NCAA championship on Saturday night at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center.
Stanford is the first school to win three straight NCAA women's swimming titles since Auburn did so from 2002-04. Stanford, which last won three in a row during a five-year run from 1992-96, has won 12 national titles and 11 NCAA championships, both are the most all-time.
The Cardinal had 18 different All-Americans combine for 51 All-America honors, two individual national championships and one relay title during the four-day NCAA championship meet.
Stanford finished with 456.5 points and earned its 39th straight top-eight finish (every year the NCAA has sponsored a championship meet), including 15 top-five showings in the last 16 years. Cal was second with 419 points and Michigan was third with 314.
"They fought for each other," said Stanford's Paul A. Violich Director of Women's Swimming Greg Meehan, who became the fourth coach to win three straight NCAA women's swimming titles, joining David Marsh (Auburn), Jack Bauerle (Georgia) and former Cardinal great Richard Quick. "We talked from the beginning of the year about making an impact. Everybody has a role and can make an impact, and I think you could feel that. They just kept believing in each other."
Located between San Francisco and San Jose, in the heart of Silicon Valley, the 2019 Stanford Swim Camps are directed by Head Coaches Greg Meehan and Ted Knapp and are designed to help competitive swimmers from around the world improve their stroke technique.
