Kelly Carroll grabbed the first individual school record of the day and her second of the week as she placed third in the 100 butterfly. Carroll posted a time of 55.22, which lowers the old school record mark of 55.22. Freshmen Nicole Shek and Audra Smires also scored points for the Brown and White by placing 13th and 14th respectively.

Jimmy Davey represented the men in the 100 butterfly final session as he competed in the consolation final and placed 14th overall. His time of 49.84 just barely missed the school record mark of 49.02.

Another individual school record fell in the women's 200 freestyle with two swimmers competing in the finals. Meghan Thompson captured the school record, her second of the week, and placed third with a time of 1:48.25 to lower the old record mark of 1:48.44. Julianne Koch also placed in the finals by capturing seventh with a time of 1:49.95. Courtney Ferreira also scored points in the event by placing 12th.
