The 2 time defending national champion Cardinal are in the water for the 2019 championship meet Wednesday to Saturday this week. Stanford is currently the #1 team in the country followed by Cal. We can expect with a high degree of certainty that the NC meet will be closer than last year when Stanford dominated with Katie Ledecky and Simone Manuel. Fortunately, Ella Eastin is back for her senior year.

Swimswam has the best preview - https://swimswam.com/2019-womens-ncaa-ch...ews-index/

From the GoStanford preview:
» Stanford has the top seed in just two events entering the meet. Lauren Pitzer has the best seed time in the 500 free (4:34.30), while Ella Eastin had the only sub-four time in the 400 individual medley this year (3:57.75), and Brooke Forde owns the nation's second-best time in the event at 4:00.27.
» Freshman Taylor Ruck as the second-best time of the year in the 200 back (1:48.67).
» In the 200 fly, junior Katie Drabot is the No. 2 seed with a season-best time of 1:51.42, followed by Eastin's 1:52.07 which ranks third in the NCAA.

You can find a live stream for all preliminary events here. Finals on Wednesday and Thursday will be on ESPN3 and the Watch ESPN app, while ESPNU will provide coverage of Friday and Saturday night finals.
