And the winner is...

Stanford University swept the Solo, Duet and Team competitions with Sara Lowe (a 2004 Olympian who appears in Sync or Swim) medaling in all three. Alison Bartosik (another member of the 2004 Olympic team featured in Sync or Swim) is the assistant coach of Stanford! Congrats to Sara, Alison and all of the swimmers who competed.

Here are the results of the 2008 U.S. Synchronized Swimming National Championships:

SOLO
1. Stanford University - Sara LOWE
2. Canisius College - Natalia TARASOVA
3. Santa Clara Aquamaids - Kenyon SMITH

DUET
1. Stanford University - Sara LOWE & Courtenay STEWART
2. Santa Clara Aquamaids - Bianca VAN DER VELDEN & Sonja VAN DER VELDEN
3. Santa Clara Aquamaids - Kenyon SMITH, Layla SMITH

TEAM
1. Stanford University
2. The Ohio State University
3. Santa Clara Aquamaids

In addition, Stanford and Santa Clara each scored 40 points and ended up sharing the overall National Championship Title. I’m still not exactly sure what this means but apparently it’s very rare and was surprising to everyone.
