The Medley Relay of Rachel Shaw, Elisabeth Holmes, Sabrina Benson, and Kelsey Moore finished 10th in a new school record of 1:51.33. The same girls swam the 400 freestyle relay finishing 6th and demolished the school record set back in 1993 by over 2 seconds with a time of 3:37.15. Sabrina Benson took 1st place in the 100 backstroke and 3rd place in the 50 freestyle. Kelsey Moore took 6th place in the 200 freestyle and 8th in the 500 freestyle.
