Walsh went on to collect another victory later in the meet, taking the 50 backstroke in 26.13 and then winning the 200 backstroke in 2:05.40, giving the senior a perfect 3-for-3 day in individual events.

In the 200 IM, first-year Kobe Swett delivered one of the Eagles' strongest all-around swims of the day, pulling away late to claim the event in 2:12.52. Husson also picked up valuable points in the breaststroke, where Emerson finished second in the 200 breast (2:31.54) and Upton followed in third at 2:43.19.
