I Women: Tara Kirk Is Spectacular as Stanford Squeaks By ASU"},"content":{"rendered":"

TEMPE, AZ., January 25. STANFOR women's swim coach Richard Quick better show his star breaststroker, Tara Kirk, a calendar. <\/p>\n

That way he can remind her a week's still left in January, eight weeks 'til NCAAs at Auburn, and therefore there's no need now for speed. <\/p>\n

For the second time this season, Kirk shattered the dual meet record in the 200 breast, as No. 4 Stanford (5-2, 1-1 Pac-10) evened its conference record with a 159-141 win over No. 16 Arizona State (4-4, 0-4) this afternoon at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center. <\/p>\n

Stanford thus splits its weekend in the desert. The Cardinal lost to a fired-up Arizona Wildcat team in Tucson yesterday. <\/p>\n

Kirk had another sensational day. She defeated rival Agnes Kovacs — a Hungarian Olympian — in both the 100 and 200 breast races. Kovacs is merely the defending Olympic and World Champion in the 200 meter breast. <\/p>\n

Kirk's time in the 200 (2:09.66) put paid to her old dual meet record of 2:10.92 that she swam at Stanford's Avery Aquatic Center last November against top-ranked Auburn. Her time is 21st-fastest (all-time performance) and she now holds the first, fourth and 10th-best performances ever. Her American\/NCAA record is 2:07.36 from last season's NCAAs at Austin. <\/p>\n

(For that matter, Kovacs ain't exactly chopped liver either. She pushed Kirk to the all-time best, and her runner-up 2:07.64 makes the Magyar Ms No. 2 all-time on both the performer-performance list.) <\/p>\n

Kovacs' 2:10.88 now ranks her No. 2 all-time in dual meets, not to mention it's her in-season pr too. Round Two will be at the Pac-10s the end of next month in Federal Way,WA., Kirk's home state. <\/p>\n

"The Finals" is set for NCAAs at Auburn the third weekend of March. It's also possible they'll battle each other in the World Championships this summer in Barcelona, where Kovacs is aiming to retain her title — and Kirk score her initial international win. <\/p>\n

Kirk also won the 100 (1:00.55) with Kovacs second in 1:02.51 — two full seconds in arrears. Kirk ranks No. 1 in the 100 breast too (59.74) with that swim ranking No. 2 on the all-time dual meet list. No. 1 is her 59.51 against Cal at Berkeley last year. (Something about swimming the Bears seems to bring out the best in Stanford.) <\/p>\n

Needless to say, both Super K's made the NCAA "A" cut in the 200 and Kirk's 100 clocking was an "A" standard as well. <\/p>\n

Stanford also had two other swimmers win a pair of events, froshwomen Kristen Caverly and Dana Kirk, Tara's younger sister.. Caverly captured the 200 back (1:59.58) and 200 IM (2:00.93). Kirk swept the flys for the second-consecutive meet, winning the 100 (season-best 54.40) and 200 (2:00.57). <\/p>\n

Kirk defeated Arizona's star 200 flyer Emily Mason yesterday and next weekend she'll be up against USC All-America Kaitlin Sandeno and then against UCLA's Kim Vandenberg, another outstanding freshman. <\/p>\n

Kirk's four winning times were NCAA "B" marks and Caverly outraced Kovacs (2:03.42) in the IM. <\/p>\n

Amy Wagner, Lacey Boutwell and Ashlee Rosenthal added one victory each for Stanford to give the Cardinal nine wins in 16 events. Wagner won the 100 back (NCAA "B" 56.45); Boutwell tied her season-best in the 200 free (NCAA "B" 1:49.04); Rosenthal won the three-meter diving, scoring 316.20 points. <\/p>\n

Stanford's diving was a key with the Cardinal outscoring Arizona State, 23-15. Stanford finished 1-3-4 in the three-meter and 2-3-4 in the one-meter. Michaela Skloven finished third in both events for the Cardinal, scoring 277.80 points in the three-meter and 254.33 in the one-meter. McKenze Murphy was fourth in both events (270.45 three-meter, 248.40 one-meter). <\/p>\n

Anna Strohl's second-place finish in the 200 fly (2:05.32) also gave the Cardinal a vital 1-2 showing in the event. <\/p>\n

Arizona State won both relays to outscore the Cardinal in relay events, 24-10. <\/p>\n

Arizona State had three individual winners in freshman Kathryn Hennesy (1000 free, 10:09.48); rookie Claire Hedenskog (50 free, 23.46, NCAA "B" mark); and sophomore Florenzia Szigeti (100 free, 50.86 NCAA "B" mark). The latter is an Argentine Olympian who will likely be representing her country this summer at the Pan-Am Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. <\/p>\n

Rookie Sandra Steffenson (500 free, 4:56.94) and Trisha Tumlinson (one-meter diving, 285.15) completed teh ASU victory parade. <\/p>\n

Sun Devil coach Mike Chasson's team is young but talented and with soph Kovacs as its leader, ASU could make an impact at Pac-10s. <\/p>\n

The Cardinal returns home to host No. 13 UCLA (Friday, January 31, 1 pm, PST) and No. 5 USC (Saturday, February 1, 12 pm, PDT). <\/p>\n

If Sandeno and Caverly race each other, a very distinct possibility in the IMs and\/or the 200 back, it will match a pair of former Orange County, CA. prep stars.<\/p>\n
