To open the individual program in the 1000 Freestyle, Allie Waggoner had a fight on her hands. From the start of the race, the Blue Hen’s Lauren Hartel sat by her side, ready to challenge the BIG EAST Champion. However, slowly but surely, Waggoner pulled away little by little. Eventually, she touched the wall with a time of 10:16.79, six seconds clear of her competition. Waggoner and Hartsel had a similar battle in the 500 Freestyle, but Waggoner came in second by 1.33 seconds with a time of 5:04.45.
Aside from Waggoner, Natalie Heim continued her strong season in two tightly-contested races. In the 200 Freestyle, Heim avoided a Blue Hen chase down, securing victory by 0.10 seconds with a time of 1:52.60. Later, in the 100 Freestyle, she was on the flip side of that situation. Heim finished second in the 100 Freestyle with a time of 52.52, 0.16 seconds behind first place.
While the Pirates did not win the 50 Free, a pair of Pirates earned a hard-fought 2-3 finish in the event. Naima Hazell earned second place with a time of 24.59, while Lea Moeller touched milliseconds behind with a time of 24.62.
Towards the end of the meet, in the 100 Butterfly, a first-year Pirate found her way onto the podium. Shun Qi Lim placed first in the 100 Butterfly with a time of 59.79, half a second clear of the next closest swimmer.

Then in 1-meter board, Graham once again earned second place with a score of 296.70 points. This time, however, the second-best Pirate was Quinn Murtha. Murtha’s score of 289.73 points was a few points off his score from the prior day against Wagner.

The Pirates opened the individual program with a dominant 1-2 finish in the 1000 Freestyle. Clil Halevi put up a time of 9:32.88, while BIG EAST Champion Sean Vizzard earned second-place honors with a time of 9:34.76. The duo would race again in the 500 Freestyle, but neither claimed overall victory. Instead, Halevi touched the wall second with a time of 4:42.07 and Vizzard in third with a time of 4:44.14.
While Halevi and Vizzard didn’t earn a pair of wins, Kevin Cary earned a pair of dominant wins in his two events. First, in the 200 Freestyle, Cary came back from a half-second deficit after two laps to win with a time of 1:39.53, almost two-and-a-half seconds clear of second place. The 200 IM was a similar story. Once again. Cary came back thanks to a dominant backstroke leg to win with a time of 1:53.27, over two second clear of second place.
The only other Seton Hall swimmer to collect a pair of wins on the day was Michael Klimaszewski. The BIG EAST Champion continued his supremacy in both Butterfly events. In the 200 Butterfly, a dominant second 100 from Klimaszewski earned him a one-second victory and a time of 1:52.57. He later won the 100 Butterfly, also by a second, with a time of 49.45.
While Toma Adam did not earn a win, he found his way into key point-scoring positions. Adam finished second in the 50 Freestyle with a time of 21.09, before quickly following that up minutes later with a third-place finish in the 100 Freestyle with a time of 46.98.
