The Stanford women were on fire this year and it was performances like Caroline Bricker had at NCAAs that led the Cardinal moving up the podium to take the 2nd place trophy back to The Farm. Dropping 12 seconds over the course of 2 years is something age groupers do, not often seen among the elite field who generally are chasing marginal gains and celebrating personal bests by tenths of a second. But not Caroline Bricker. Her self belief, as she explains in this episode, powered her with a winning mindset that she brought to the A final and unleashed on the field to win the 400 IM, pulling away from the Olympic silver medalist in the process to stamp her name in Stanford history as “400 IM U.”
A lot is changing though, with the recent departure of coach Greg Meehan to take the helm at USA Swimming, Caroline updates us on the search process and how other coaches and teammates are stepping in to keep the momentum going into long course season.
