(If Curzan hadn't transferred to UVa, LSJU might've won this year - she scored 57 points, and UVa's margin of victory was 101).Stanford absolutely would not have won during 2020. Virginia was well on its way to winning that year with Kate Douglass leading the charge. Stanford wasn't going to compete that year - they didn't have the elite swimmers needed.
Three-peat NCs for his teams in 2017-18-19 (Ledecky, Manuel, Eastin, Forde, Steve Stenstrom's daughter, et al.) and it probably would've been four straight but covid canceled the 2020 NCAA meet.
This year's team was hardly affected by the ACC travel. The only East Coast trip was for the conference meet.
Per swimswam, ~ 76 % of LSJU's points at NCAA are set to return next year, assuming no transfers. Hoping for the best for coach Meehan, for his successor at LJSU and for the LSJU W swim program!
