Stanford sophomore Lindi Schroeder (Andover, MA) was an MPSF Champion in the solo (84.575) and duet (84.100) events, along with third-place trio (81.275) and fourth-place ‘A’ Technical (81.9646) routines. She was a Western Regional Champion in the duet. Schroeder took first-place in solo and trio in the final regular season meet vs. UCLA, in addition to her titles in solo and duet at the University of Arizona Collegiate Open. At the Stanford Invitational, she had three top-three results (2^nd place solo, 1^st place duet, 2^nd place trio). She won all four of her events in the season opener at Wheaton (solo, duet, trio, ‘A’ Tech), en route to her second career MPSF Artistic Swimmer of the Week honor. Schroeder is a USA Senior National Team member and 2020 Olympian. Stanford repeats the annual MPSF Artistic Swimmer award (Nicole Goot, 2022).  
Stanford freshman Yara Elian (Walnut Creek, CA) has turned in a remarkable initial collegiate season. She took part in three MPSF titles at the conference championships, taking first-place in the duet (84.100), trio (83.05), and team (85.175) events. Elian also placed second in the ‘A’ Technical event (83.0566) and finished as the MPSF’s individual High Point Champion by an eight-point margin. In the Western Regionals, University of Arizona Collegiate Open, and Stanford Invitational, Elian brought home the same three titles at each of those competitions---duet, trio, and team. In the season opener at Wheaton, she took first-place in duet and team, along with second-place routines in trio and ‘A’ Technical. Stanford repeats the annual MPSF freshman award (Nicole Goot, 2022).  
Stanford fifth-year head coach Megan Abarca led the Cardinal to a second-straight MPSF Championship, guiding victories in each of the events (solo, duet, trio, Technical ‘A,’ and team) for a total score of 100 points. She also led Stanford to dual meet victories over Wheaton, UCLA, and Ohio State, along with a first-place finish in the Western Regionals. Abarca has led a large new group of swimmers this season, welcoming six freshmen with a full roster of 14 athletes. Her leadership has resulted in a seamless transition for the newcomers, as she guided three freshmen--Yara Elian, Ivy Davis, and Miko Begossi to the MPSF Trio title. Elian also earned the duet title along with Lindi Schroeder. Abarca also led Begossi and Davis to the silver medal in the duet competition at the MPSF Championships.
