At the Big Meet, Stanford impressed its home fans with a 98-65 win by the men and an 88-75 win by the women. Great performances abounded for the No. 8 men, who jumped out to a comfortable lead over the Golden Bears and never looked back.

Meanwhile, the women, ranked No. 17 in the country, were locked in a tight struggle with Cal throughout the day. It took a 1-2 finish from redshirt senior Kate Niehaus and senior Stephanie Marcy in the 3,000 meters, the meet’s penultimate event, for Stanford to clinch the win.

This weekend’s meet in Berkeley will be focused on individual events rather than the team scoring of the Big Meet. The Cardinal will send only part of its team to Berkeley, with the field events beginning on Friday and the track events beginning on Saturday.
