Stanford was awarded the 2018 CSCAA Swimmer of the Year with her victories in the 200 IM, 400 IM, and 200 butterfly. Her wins in the 200 IM and 400 IM were both American records. She was also a part of two winning relays, the 800 free relay (along with Katie Ledecky, Katie Drabot, and Brooke Forde), and the 400 free relay (along with Drabot, Simone Manuel, and Janet Hu).[2]
Stanford's Greg Meehan was awarded the 2018 CSCAA Division 1 Women's Coach of the Year for the second year, coaching Simone Manuel, Ella Eastin, Katie Ledecky, and Ally Howe to individual wins.[3]
