Kathryn Rodkey stood on top of the podium as champion with Kaylee Futrell placing 5th.

In the 100 butterfly, Samantha Jones placed 2nd, Nevy Sebastian placed 4th, and Abby Jordan placed 5th.

The 100 freestyle was a great race with Laber dropping 2 seconds placing 3rd, Abby Heath dropping a second placed 4th, and Lucy Loshnowsky also dropping a second and placing 5th.
