During prelims Elayna Krupp (10th) and Anna Eriksson (8th) each placed in the top 10 in school history in the 50-Yard freestyle with times of 23.35 and 23.31.

The first championship final of the night was the 500 Freestyle where senior Kellie House took 4th place and recorded a time of 4:52.09 that gave her the second fastest time in school history in the event. The next event was the 200 IM where Daisy Platts broke her own school record in the 200 IM with a time of 1:58.32 beating out her old time by 0:00.51.

Rickey's Reactions
"It was another great day. I am so proud of Kellie House's 500 free. It was an amazing race. Daisy Platts was strong as always. We swam well and the divers were excellent. Kylie, Rayah, and Julia for making consoles was excellent. Grace making top 8 and finishing 7th was fantastic. I am happy for them and the team. They have worked hard all years and it's really starting to show."
