ATLANTA - It was a night of resiliency and records for the Stanford women's swimming and diving team during Day Two of the NCAA Championships. 

After a demoralizing start to Thursday's finals at McAuley Aquatic Center, the Cardinal rebounded for two national championships, two American and NCAA records, and two other All-America honors. 

It seemed as though Stanford had claimed the national championship in the 200 free relay to start the evening. The Cardinal finished first with a time of 1:26.71, but was disqualified for a lane violation after a long review. 

However, the Cardinal remained unfazed, and quickly regrouped behind the first record-setting performance of the night. Freshman Ella Eastin broke every record available in her first individual final at the national championships. The Irvine, Calif., native set the American, NCAA, school, meet and pool records with a finish of 1:51.65 in the 200-yard individual medley. She was second after the fly and back, but propelled ahead in the breast and pulled away with a 26.94 split in the free. She is the sixth Cardinal to win the national title in the event for a combined nine championships.

Eastin's race led to back-to-back All-America efforts from Gracia Leydon-Mahoney and Lia Neal.

In the first diving event, Leydon-Mahoney earned her first career All-America honor. She qualified for Thursday night's finals on the 1-meter with a fifth-place finish in the prelims, and then earned eighth overall with a score of 283.15.

Meanwhile, Neal earned a spot in the NCAA finals of the 50-yard freestyle for the first time in her career with the second-fastest time in school history (21.78) in the prelims. She then garnered 13 points for the Cardinal with a sixth-place finish of 21.83.

Neal then helped Stanford end the night with another American and NCAA record. The team of Ally Howe, Sarah Haase, Janet Hu and Neal broke their own records set at the Pac-12 Championships in February. They shaved 11-hundreths of a second off that time with a finish of 3:26.14. It marked Stanford's third straight national championship in the event -- all accomplished with American record times.

As a team, Stanford is sixth with 110 points.
