For the second year in a row, Stanford head coach Greg Meehan has heard a yes when offering the top-ranked recruit in the nation a spot on his team as Ozaukee Aquatics’ Katie Drabot has announced her verbal commitment to Stanford. This follows last year when Meehan scored commitments from #1 Katie Ledecky and #3 Ella Eastin, with Ledecky deferring a year to focus on the Olympics.

Good choice. No problem getting a job as a post-grad with Stanford on her resume. Best of luck!
