The combined team of DiNicola, Brown, Chapman, and Kaiser won the 200-yard freestyle relay, clocking a 1:46.64.
 
On the men's side, Booth and sophomore Carter Branigan (Lansdowne, Pa./Commonwealth Charter) each took home three individual event wins to lead the way. Booth took the 200-yard freestyle at 1:50.98. He then won the 200-yard backstroke at 2:01.84, and his final win was in the 500-yard freestyle (5:14.50).
 
Branigan's first win came in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 2:02.13. He had another win in the 100-yard butterfly at 56.11, and finally the 200-yard individual medley, posting a 2:08.00.
 
Junior Will Marcinkowski (Philadelphia, Pa./LaSalle College) took home a pair of wins, first in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:02.68), and then the 200-yard version of the event (2:22.97). First-year Noah Vivian (Barto, Pa./Boyertown) also won a pair, winning the 50-yard freestyle at 22.94, and the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 50.60.
 
The relay team of Branigan, Marcinkowksi, Vivian and sophomore Eliot Keith (New Ringgold, Pa./Blue Mountain) won the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:41.65, and the team of Vivian, Keith, Booth, and sophomore C.J.
