STANFORD, Calif. – The nation's fastest 200 IMer in Léon Marchand certainly looked the part on Friday afternoon at Stanford, as the Sun Devils' highly-decorated freshman cruised to wins in the 200 IM and 200 back despite both the men's and women's team falling to the Cardinal.
The Cardinal got after it early and often, forcing the Sun Devils to play catch-up all afternoon, as the No. 6 men's team (0-2) was bested the No. 11 Cardinal 184-93; the women's squad (2-2) edged, 160-90, by the No. 4 Cardinal.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Cardinal grabbed victories in the first four events of the afternoon, before Erica Laning and Grant House tallied back-to-back Sun Devil wins in the women's and men's 200 free races.
