STANFORD, Calif.-- Stanford's Andi Murez and Liz Smith each won twice on the final day of the George Haines Invitational, while freshmen Andie Taylor and Maya DiRado took home wins for the second time on the weekend.
Murez' day began by swimming the anchor leg of the 200 medley team, posting a time of 1:44.80. Her first win came in the 200 free, outdistancing two teammates over the final 50 yards to win with a time of 1:49.38. She was also second in the 100 back.
Smith swept the breaststroke competition for the weekend, winning the 100-yard event on Saturday with a mark of 1:03.75 after Friday afternoon's win in the 200 event. The senior closed out the individual competition with a win in the 200 IM, fighting off freshman Felicia Lee for the win with a time of 2:02.17 by five-tenths of a second.
Two freshmen won their second events of the weekend as well, Taylor in the 200 fly and DiRado in the 100 back.
The youngsters, Taylor and Lee battled for the 200 fly title, with Taylor coming from behind to beat Lee with a time of 2:01.26. Lee finished with a time of 2:01.60, while Kate Dwelley, an early leader, was third (2:02.89). Taylor was also second to Murez in the 200 free and now has five wins in two weeks as a collegiate swimmer.
DiRado won the 100 back (55.95) just over a second ahead of Murez, who finished with a time of 57.02.
Stanford is next in action when it hosts its alumni meet next Saturday starting at 9 a.m.
