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.
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.)
