As for this year, Stanford was top-heavy, with a big four (Regan Smith, Torri Huske, Taylor Ruck, and Brooke Forde) who scored the vast majority of their points.  There was also a second tier of Allie Raab, their breaststroker, who did well enough to keep the medley relays competitive and who was top eight in the 200 breaststroke; the Nordmann sisters who each made a final; and Carolina Sculti, who made the final in the 3-meter diving.

Actually, Brooke Forde finished 7th in the 200 Breast.  Raab finished 16th.

• Breaststroke is our only weakness next year. Don’t see any recruits in the pipeline, unfortunately, and I don’t know if Allie Raab is staying an extra year (I don’t think so…). However, with the addition of Curzan, we’ll have the guns to seriously challenge Virginia.
  

I have no idea what is coming up through the high schools but I looked around for possible swimmers who could potentially transfer.
DIII 100Br champion (1:00.29 - slower than Raab) was a MIT Junior.  I don't know whether she'd improve enough at Stanford to make even a grad transfer worth it.
DI 100Br champion (56.9) is a USC Soph (who does more than Br).   I have no idea if she is able to handle the academics, but the USC team is relatively weak (16th in the meet).  She was a big name coming out of high school, so I suspect if Stanford was a possibility, she'd have been approached. (On committing to USC, she said she wanted an engineering degree.)
