NMU claimed 12 of the possible podium finishes, including sweeping the 200 medley and 100 IM. On the board, Kalina Ceglinski continued her hot streak, as she won both the 3-meter and 1-meter diving.

Evie Decarlo won the skins elimination contest, as she finished second in the free, first in the breast, and second in the back before claiming first over Kenzie Stute in the fly finals. DeCarlo also claimed gold and Stute silver in the 100 IM, the only other individual pool event on the evening.
