Riley and Piel had solid outings also in the 500 free and 200 IM, respectively. Riley set a new school record when she placed second with a race time of 5:07.49 and Piel swam her 200 IM in 2:09.87.

The men's side saw John Leeds put up a solid showing in a pair of events. He placed fourth in the 500 free (4:42.16) then joined teammates Brodie Salzbrener, Ian McClelland and Keenan Tiddle for a silver finish in the 400 medley relay (3:36.91) to close the evening.
