Stanford synchronized swimming has had a perfect season so far, but a successful three days at the U.S. Nationals beginning today in Indianapolis would make the Cardinal’s year even better.

The Stanford women are coming off an undefeated season and a third straight Collegiate National title. At the March competition, the Cardinal swept the top spots in the trio, duet, solo and team events to win by a margin of 13 points over Ohio State.

But at the IUPUI Natatorium this week, the Stanford swimmers will be among more than 100 competitors in the solo, duet and team events. Other than being the top competition in the country, the U.S. Nationals will also unveil the 2008 U.S. Olympic team.

Last year, current juniors Courtenay Stewart and Sara Lowe were the first collegiate duo to claim the national duet title. Lowe also earned a silver medal in the solo competition, while Stanford placed second in the team event and was second overall to the Santa Clara Aquamaids.

While Lowe and Stewart were themselves 2004 Olympians (for the U.S. and Canada, respectively), this year’s competition will surely be intense as both teams and individuals vie for the chance to be the best in the nation, as well as represent it.

The competition starts churning water today at 8:50 a.m.
