By Dan.D’Addona.<\/em><\/p>\n

The anticipation of a possible national championship has been building since the day Katie Ledecky<\/strong> signed with the Cardinal.<\/p>\n

Even without her, Stanford nearly won the NCAA title last year.<\/p>\n

Now Ledecky is a Cardinal and Simone Manuel<\/strong> is back after a year off training for the Olympics. They were the two most dynamic female swimmers at the Rio Olympics and have already started the year as the two most dynamic swimmers in the NCAA.<\/p>\n

Stanford earned a 149-99 victory over Washington State in Ledecky’s home meet debut this week, winning every event. .<\/p>\n

Ledecky set two Avery Aquatic Center records and another was set by junior Manuel. They are breaking records set by each other and some of the biggest names in swimming history.<\/p>\n

Ledecky set the pool record in the 200-yard freestyle at 1:44.18 to eclipse Manuel’s mark of 1:44.34 from 2015. Manuel, however, found another spot in the pool record book as she finished the 100-yard freestyle in 48.00, and topped the 48.47-mark set by Lia Neal last year.<\/p>\n

Ledecky then swam 4:36.43 in the 500-yard freestyle. She broke an eight-year-old record set by two-time Olympian Julia Smit<\/strong> by more than five seconds. Smit had held the standard at 4:41.74 since 2008. Ledecky’s finish is the second-fastest all-time at Stanford, trailing only legend Janet Evans, who set the school record 26 years ago at 4:34.49.<\/p>\n

Stanford, which has won nine straight dual meets and eight in a row at home, began the meet with the top three times in the 200-yard medley relay. Ally Howe, Ella Eastin, Lindsey Engel<\/strong> and Ledecky were first for the Cardinal at 1:42.09.<\/p>\n

Howe was the first to touch the wall in the 100-yard butterfly (53.93) and 200 fly (1:58.27), Eastin was tops in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:03.29), and Engel won the 100-yard backstroke (55.30).<\/p>\n

Junior Janet Hu<\/strong> won a pair of events. She earned the top spot in the 50-yard freestyle at 22.69, and then bested the field in the 200-yard backstroke at 1:54.81.<\/p>\n

Sophomore Kim Williams<\/strong> was first in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:16.61), and freshman Katie Drabot<\/strong> won the 1,000-yard freestyle with a winning time of 10:03.04.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
