NCAA Div. I Men: Stanford Downs ASU

TEMPE, AZ.,January 25. THE No. 1-ranked Stanford men's swimming and diving team remains undefeated after a 156-119 victory over No. 13 Arizona State at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center here this afternoon.

The Cardinal improves to 5-0 on the year, 2-0 in the Pac-10. Stanford turned in the top time in all 13 swimming events.

Stanford opened the meet with a 1-2-3 finish in the 100 backstroke as Peter Marshall led the field with an NCAA automatic qualifying 47.46. Jayme Cramer (48.17) and Dan Westcott (48.47) placed second and third respectively.

Marshall's defending NCAA champ and holds the collegiate dual meet record with his 45.61 against Cal last season at the Cardinal's Avery Aquatic Center. His pr is 45.54 leading off Stanford's medley relay in the prelims at NCAAs a year ago, and that time is sixth on the all-time performances' list — third performer.

The Stanford record is 45.43 by Brian Retterer (second-performer, fourth-performance all-time) while the American/NCAA-record is 44.92 by Texas' Neil Walker. Marshall has designs on both those marks and could well swim a 44+ at NCAAs the end of March in Austin.

In the 100 breaststroke, Stanford once again took the top three spots, led by Michael Bruce's time of 55.73. Teammates Pat Fowler (56.11) and Rick Eddy (56.55) finished second and third. The Cardinal then claimed first and second in the 100 butterfly as Scott Ransenberg (49.04) led the field, followed by Bobby O'Bryan (49.78).

Sophomore Dan Trupin — defending Pac-10 200 IM champ and 17-18 NAG record-holder — took top honors in the 400 IM, clocking in at 3:47.90, just off his pr of 3:47.33 from last season. Defending NCAA 200 IM – 200 back champ Markus Rogan was second (3:50.56) followed by teammate Matt Sorlien (3:56.63).

Senior John Waters won the 200 freestyle (1:36.80) while fellow Cardinal Michael McLean was third with a 1:40.16. Next was the 50 free where Randall Bal claimed first with his 20.26 with junior Andrew Schnell third (20.86). Bal's pr is 19.46, also from last sason's Cal dual at The Farm, and he'll be after the Stanford record of 19.15 that won Anthony Robinson the gold at NCAAs two years ago.

In the 200 butterfly, Trupin won his second event of the afternoon, clocking 1:47.24. Teammate Michael Bruce finished third in a seasona1 pr and possibly career-best 1:49.62. Bruce is more noted for his breaststroke exploits and is defending Pac-10 champ in the 100-200.

Arizona State got its only win from sprinter Nick Brunelli, who won the 200 in a seasonal-best 44.83. O'Bryan (45.53) and Andrew Schnell (45.59) finished second and third. Marshall won his second event by taking top honors in the 200 backstroke with a 1:44.44, moving into the No. 4 spot nationally. He just edged Rogan (1:44.79).

Ever the workhorse, Trupin turned in the top time in the 200 IM (1:46.46) followed by Rogan's 1:50.94. Card Matt Sorlien won the 500 freestyle (4:26.41) and Bruce turned won the 200 breast (1:59.65) followed by Fowler (2:01.70).

(It was noted a year ago that if Fowler, national prep record-holder in the 100 breast, "gets his act together" Stanford could Texas a battle for the NCAA title. The Cardinal actually won the NCAA swimming title but Texas' superiority on the boards gave the Longhorns their third-consecutive championship. This year the same holds true: if Stanford is to win, it needs finals' scoring from Fowler, among others.)

The Stanford relay team of Bal, O'Bryan, Marshall and Schnell's 1:20.60 in the 200 free relay topped the field and vaults Stanford into 10th nationally.

Diver Adam Peterson finished second on both the one-meter board (328.13) and three-meter board (282.23) to lead the Cardinal.

Stanford has the horses (errrr, Cardinal) to win at Austin as Texas won't have the diving points it had last season. But Cal has Ervin, Draganja, Cavic and Lim (need we say more?) and Auburn whupped a strong Florida team Friday evening at home by 30 points.

It's a wide-open title race and anything can happen — just ask Miami.
