LONG BEACH, Calif. / TUCSON, Ariz. -- Maya DiRado (200 back) won her third race in as many days and Kelsey Ditto (1650 free) also set a meet record to highlight the final day of the Arena Invite. Also winning for the Cardinal was Kate Dwelley (100 free), Liz Smith (200 breast) and Andie Taylor (200 fly) on the final day in the International City.
Overall Stanford finished first in 16 of 18 events over the three-day event, set to replicate the schedule of March's NCAA Championships. Stanford won four of five relays, including Saturday's finale, the 400 free relay (3:15.39), Stanford's ninth meet record.
