Stanford Invite This Weekend

Published by Stanford SID on 4/2/2015

Stanford's perspective:

Though the Cardinal has had participants in three meets so far, the Stanford Invitational marks the true opening of the outdoor season for the Cardinal. Stanford is resting most of its athletes who competed in the NCAA indoor championships three weeks ago (or ran in the World Cross Country Championships last week, as in the case of Maksim Korolev), but still have 12 All-Americans scheduled to compete. Three of them are first-team outdoor All-Americans – Brianna Bain in the women’s javelin, Luke Lefebure in the men’s 1,500 meters and Claudia Saunders in the women’s 1,500.

Saunders, the NCAA outdoor 800 runner-up last season, and freshman Olivia Baker ran the second and third legs of Stanford’s distance medley relay team that set a school record and finished second at the NCAA indoors on March 13. Lefebure ran the 800 leg of Stanford’s NCAA indoor champion men’s DMR team in 2014.

Baker is among several freshmen or sophomores in their first season eligibility who are making their home debut in a Stanford uniform. Baker, who runs the 400 on Friday (4:12 p.m.), is among Stanford’s most intriguing recruits. This is her first collegiate 400, indoors or outdoors in an event in which she placed third in the IAAF World Junior Championships last summer, and won gold on the 4x400 in the same meet. She also is the New Jersey high school record-holder at that distance with a best of 52.46. Baker takes on teammate Kristyn Williams, Stanford’s indoor 400 record-holder at 53.35.
