The No. 3 Stanford women are in the middle of a highly anticipated season.<\/p>\n

The Cardinal are the two-time defending NCAA champions, but after last year, lost Olympians Katie Ledecky, Simone Manuel<\/strong> and Kassidy<\/strong> Cook<\/strong>, not to mention national champions Ally Howe<\/strong> and Janet Hu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But Stanford is still loaded with talent, led by senior and reining NCAA Swimmer of the Year Ella Eastin<\/strong>, veterans Katie Drabot<\/strong> and Brooke<\/strong> Forde<\/strong> as well as freshman phenom Taylor Ruck<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

$\"taylor-ruck-indianapolis-pro-swim-series\"$ <\/p>\n

The Cardinal return to action for their first competition since before Thanksgiving this weekend.<\/p>\n

Stanford will compete at Arizona on Friday and at Arizona State on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The last time competition, Stanford won the Ohio State Invitational behind Eastin.<\/p>\n

Eastin swept the individual medleys. The defending NCAA champion in those events, she was first in the 200 with an ‘A’ qualifying time of 1:53.41, and then hit the same standard in the 400 with a finish of 4:00.70. The Irvine, California, native was also tops in the 200 butterfly – eight months removed from her American record-setting performance in the same pool – she bested the Fall field at 1:52.07. And once again, in similar fashion to the NCAA meet in Columbus, teammate Drabot was the runner-up in the 200 fly (1:53.38).<\/p>\n

The Stanford men have not had as long of a layoff after beating Pacific on Jan. 11.<\/p>\n

Freshman diver Conor Casey<\/strong> highlighted the day with wins in both the 1-meter and 3-meter springboards. Casey won the 1-meter with a score of 358.73 before winning the 3-meter with a stellar 392.70. Casey recently competed in the USA Winter Trials in Atlanta, finishing fourth on the synchronized 3-meter, third on the 1-meter and 10th on the 3-meter.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, No. 4 Cal will also be pulling the Arizona double this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Golden Bears, led by Katie McLaughlin, Abbey Weitzeil<\/strong> and Amy Bilquist<\/strong>, will start at Arizona State on Friday, then move to Tucson to face Arizona on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In other Pac-12 action, Utah will host BYU on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n
