The No. 4 Stanford (10-0) women and Brigham Young men captured the Big West Shootout on Saturday. For the second consecutive day, Stanford's closest competitor was Hawaii as the Cardinal prevailed with a 66-46 victory over the Rainbow Wahine on Saturday. Stanford's other victories Saturday were over UC Davis (94-18), UC Irvine (94-22) and Washington (83-20). BYU knocked out nationally-ranked Washington 78-33, Hawaii 70-43 and UC Irvine 81-32 in three meets Saturday to claim the championship.

Men's swimming coach Tim Powers said the team had not rested for the weekend invitational and competed better than he had anticipated.

"I was really pleased the guys responded so well," he said. "They were just answering the call."

Kristen Caverly's double in the 200 back (1:59.03) and 200 IM (2:01.37) highlighted the Cardinal performance on Saturday. Other Stanford individual event winners included Lauren Costella (1000 free, 9:55.97), Elizabeth Durot (4:51.05), Dana Kirk (100 fly, 1:59.44) and Erica Liu (200 breast, 2:17.86). Each of Stanford's individual winners recorded NCAA "B" times in their victories. The Cardinal was also victorious in the 400 free relay with a time of 3:25.35.

Hawaii picked up wins in five events as a tremendous double by Melanie Schlanger led the way. Schlanger recorded NCAA "A" times on her way to victory in both the 50 (22.36) and 100 (48.45) free. The Rainbow Wahine also swept the diving events for the second straight day with Qiongie Huang taking the 1-meter (303.05) and Megan Farrow capturing the 3-meter (353.85), both with NCAA qualifying point totals. Hawaii also won the 400 medley relay in a time of 3:45.45.

Washington's Sharon Olson won the remaining event, taking the 200 free in 1:50.15.

Junior Brett Allen continued his hot streak Saturday after setting two records in competition Friday, and finished the weekend taking first place in every event he swam, including a 20.27 in the 50 free and a time of 45.06 in the 100 free today.

The rest of the Cougars racked up plenty of points in all three meets Saturday with several top-ten finishers across the board, including a first and second place in the 200 fly by junior Jorge Azevedo coming in at 1:51.65 and sophomore Jeffrey Su clocking-in behind him at 1:53.56.

Freshman John Kendrick brought in a second-place finish in the 500 free at 4:35.03 and added two thirds, one in the 1000 free, and the other in the 200 free behind sophomore teammate Travis Price in second at 1:41.18.

Coach Powers said there are certain expectations for BYU swimmers, and he feels the team lived up to them this weekend.

"We swim with the idea we can win," he said. "There's a tradition of doing well in swimming and we're just keeping to it."

The BYU divers also finished the weekend with top scores. Sophomore Ron Morris brought in two third-place finishes scoring a 289.35 on the 1-meter board and 309.75 on the 3-meter.

The Cougars will begin Mountain West competition at home Friday hosting UNLV.
