Senior Aidan Scott soared to the first-place finish in the 200 fly with a 1:52.73, taking the event handedly. Freshman Jacob Sotelo raced alongside and earned a career best 1:57.4 and a third-place finish. He returned later in the meet with another lifetime best after racing a 4:14.58 in the 400 IM. Another freshman, Julian Yuen, raced a lifetime best 2:21.38 in the 200 breaststroke.
