I Women: Stanford Regains Pac-10 Crown; Cal’s Coughlin Sets Second NCAA\/American Record"},"content":{"rendered":"

BELMONT SHORES, CA., March 2. ONLY a sophomore, Natalie Coughlin is rapidly establishing her bonafides as one of the greatest women swimmers in NCAA history.<\/p>\n

For the second-consecutive day and her second-consecutive Pac-10 Championship, Cal sophomore Natalie Coughlin — last year's NCAA Swimmer of the Year — set an American\/national-collegiate record on the final evening of this year's meet.<\/p>\n

Swimming in her third individual race of the meet, Coughlin blasted her own 200 back standard (1:51.02) with an amazing — really, that's the only word
\nthat applies — 1:50.90.<\/p>\n

In the team race, Stanford won its 19th Pac-10 title in 21 tries with a 1320.5-1197.5 margin over runner-up USC (the Trojans' best finish ever). <\/p>\n

Arizona's Wildcats, 2000 champs, were third with Cal fourth and defending champ UCLA fifth.<\/p>\n

What is even more amazing about Coughlin's 200 back record is that for 150+ yards she was behind her record-breaking pace from last year's NCAAs. Indeed, at 100 yards she was more than a second off what she swam it in last season at East Meadow (53.44-54.51). Even at 150 yards she trailed (1:22.74-1:23.02). But her final 50 of 27.98 vs. 28.79 from '01 put paid to
\n1:51.02 and made her the first (and, of course, only) woman ever under 1:51.0.<\/p>\n

For that matter she's the only woman ever under 1:52.0 and one of only two under 1:53.0 — and as the song goes, "You can't take that away from her."<\/p>\n

Before Coughlin came along to first break the record at last year's Pac-10s with her 1:52.73, the record had been 1:52.98 by Texas' Whitney Hedgepeth from the 1992 NCAAs in her home pool at Austin.<\/p>\n

So in the space of a year Coughlin has sent the record reeling from 1:52.98 to 1:50.90 — with NCAAs (at Austin) still three weeks away!<\/p>\n

Coughlin had set an American\/NCAA record in the 100 back the previous evening after — AFTER — wining the 200 free in 1:43.30, history's third-fastest time and only .02 off the American record.<\/p>\n

To make sure Coughlin got in a "good workout," she also swam the second leg of Cal's 400 free relay, splitting 47.62 — fastest of the meet. (Stanford's
\nJenny Thompson's American\/NCAA 100 free record is 47.61].<\/p>\n

So…with all major conference championships completed, Coughlin ranks numero uno in the 50-100-200 frees, both backstrokes and is among the leaders in the 100 fly and 200 IM. Too bad she can only swim three individual events and on four relays at NCAAs, else she'd win the meet by herself (well, we exaggerate, but only slightly).<\/p>\n

However, the Cal supersoph wasn't the only headline maker. Stanford senior Shelly Ripple set a meet-record (1:53.50) en route to winning the 200 fly.
\nRipple's time is only .14 off the NCAA record of 1:53.36 by Nevada Reno's Limin Liu — the '94 World Champion — from three years ago.<\/p>\n

The American record is 1:52.99 by former Cal All-America and Olympic triple gold medalist Mary T. Meagher, who set it at the 1981 U.S. Nationals at
\nHarvard. (Yes, that's right, the record's lasted for 21 years; and her 200 fly wr that T. set in the summer of '81 lasted until the Australian Olympic Trials two years ago, when Susie O'Neill finally broke it.)<\/p>\n

The Stanford record is 1:53.43 by Summer Sanders from the '92 NCAAs. Four months later Sanders won an Olympic gold in this race at Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Ripple also led off thw Cardinal 400 free relay in 49.82, her pr and the only sub 50.0 opening leg.<\/p>\n

The most exciting race of the evening was the 200 breast, where Arizona State's defending Olympic and World Champion Agnes Kovacs of Hungary was up against Stanford's Tara Kirk, who had broken the American\/NCAA record for the 100 breast Friday night with her 58.68.<\/p>\n

When the swimmers hit the final touchpad, Kovacs had won by a mere .04, 2:07.75-2:07.79 — first and second nationally by a wide margin and a Pac-10 meet and conference record. The American\/NCAA record is 2:07.66 by Georgia's Kristy Kowal from the '99 NCAAs in her home pool at Athens, site of this year's men's NCAA D1 Championships in four weeks.<\/p>\n

Kovacs was ahead of Kowal's pace for 150 yards (1:34.09-1:34.83) but her final 50 (33.86) was slower than Kowal's 32.83 and therein lies the difference. Kovacs also had swum a 2:07.98 at the Longhorn Invitational in Austin last December, then history's second-fastest clocking (her Pac-10 record now displaces that.)<\/p>\n

Tonight Kovacs was out in a sizzling 1:01.66, far and away the quickest 100 ever in a 200. When Kowal, a 59.0 100 breasttroker, went that 2:07.6 in Athens,
\nshe split 1:01.99, three tenths slower than Kovacs' time — and Kovacs has yet to break a minute for the 100 flat start. Go figure.<\/p>\n

At any rate, Kovcs still has NCAAs to get the record. Her long course meters pr is about a second faster than Kowal's American record from the Sydney Olympics, so the Hungarian froshwoman should be able to go 2:06 if the stars are in their proper alignment and the swimming gods are smiling, right [ASU coach] Mike Chasson?<\/p>\n

Kirk's great time — a Cardinal record — surpasses her old pr of 2:08.54 that won last season's Pac-10s, and is third-fastest ever (performer-performance). She's now lost twice to Kovacs so perhaps she'll
\nreturn the favor at Austin — after all, they always say "the third time is the charm."<\/p>\n

Arizona's Sarah Tolar, runner-up to Coughlin in the 200 free in a pr and Wildcat record 1:44.92 (second nationally), went another pr and AU-record 49.32 to win the 100 free.<\/p>\n

Runner-up in the 200 back was USC'S British Olympian Joanna Fargus, who, until joining Coach Mark Schubert's team in late January, had never swum in a
\nyards pool. She's adapted well, finishing second in the 100 back (54 low) and tonight going a pr 1:54.66 to take the silver in the 200 back.<\/p>\n

Fargus' time ranks third nationally, and is a quarter-second off Lindsay Benko's Trojan record (1:54.42) that won the gold at the '97 NCAAs in her hometown of Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

Benko was a member of the United States' Olympic gold-medal winning 800 free relay team from Sydney, and is the world-leader this season in the 200 and 400 meter free (sc meters) going into next month's World Championships at Moscow.<\/p>\n

She was also among the favorites in the 200 free at last summer's World Championships (lcm) but a freak knee injury just before the meet began rendered her hors de combat<\/i>.<\/p>\n

In the 1650 free, Stanford's Jessica Foschi, defending NCAA 500 free champ but who lost to Arizona frosh emily Mason Thursday night, won handily with a
\nnational No. 2 16:08.46. Florida's Janelle Atkinson's 16:05+ leads the rankings. Foschi's pr is 16:03.47 from the '01 NCAAs that got her the silver medal.<\/p>\n
