There goes another. As recently as last year, Stanford had 6 women's coaches who had won NCAA championships in their respective sports. Now down to 3 (Walker for golf, Byrnes for rowing, Ratcliffe for soccer).

John Tanner, WWP
Kevin Hambly, WVB

The losses are Lele, Tara, and Greg Meehan (in case you were thinking about it like I was).

Megan Abarca has led the Artistic Swimming team to two Collegiate National Championships (2021 & 2025).

Unfortunately doesn't count as an ncaa championship. Same goes for our lightweight rowing and sailing championships. 

I would also assume that the championship wouldn't extend our streak of nattys but not sure who the arbiter of that is.

The school can claim anything.   Undoubtedly the AD would try to highlight that title as a continuation of some level of success if Stanford does not claim one or more NCAA team titles.  It would be similar to what Cal was doing with rugby and Men's rowing with the Directors' cup.   For a number of years Cal would wrap up the season noting they finished 5th or 8th or whatever, but would have finished higher if rowing and rugby were included.

The inclusion of non-NCAA titles gets murky because there are so, so many sports with national titles with at least some schools giving that sport varsity level status.   (sailing, squash, rubgy, football, rowing, etc.)
