Heartbreak struck the Stanford Cardinal early on night 2 of the 2016 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships, as their first-place-finishing 200 yard free relay was disqualified for an early exchange.
That cost the Cardinal not only an event title, but 40 valuable points toward an NCAA overall team title that the Cardinal are favored to take, but was very tight coming into the session.
The DQ note reads “Swimmer #4 feet lost touch with starting place before preceding team-mate touches,” with the reaction times revealing a -.05 exchange between Ally Howe in the water and Lindsey Engel* on the block.
Meehan is always a class act. He has done great things to improve his swimmers.
So much class……
