Matthew Chai scorched the pool in the 1000-yard freestyle to touch first in a time of 8:45.81, the second-fastest time in program history and fifth-fastest in the country this season.
 
Yamato Okadome swept both breaststroke events, winning the 100-yard breast with a time of 51.92 and the 200-yard breast in a time of 1:51.65, which tied for the fifth-fastest time in the country this season.
