The swimmers then added a fourth-place finish in the 400 Medley Relay. Later, junior Riley McNichols took home a fifth-place finish in the 50 Freestyle courtesy of a 23.92 time.
Day two came with similar Falcon success. At the end of the day the Orange and Brown found at least one top five finish in seven of eleven events. Ava Vial opened up the 400 IM with a third-place finish and a time of 4:30.20. Vial also added a fifth-place finish in the 200 Butterfly. Senior Taylor Harris started the season off strong, too. Harris added a third-place finish in the 100 Breaststroke and a fourth-place finish in the 200 Breaststroke. Diver Rayah Blood continued diving's excellence with a first-place finish in the 3-Meter Dive with a score of 243.85.
