The Loggers continued with Ayla Rowan winning the 200 freestyle and Holly Zipay taking the top spot in the 100 freestyle. Lelia Ollenburg added a win in the 500 free and a narrow second-place finish in the 100, just behind Zipay. 

The 100 backstroke saw Harper McGuire take the top spot, followed closely by Sophia Lihou. In the 200 butterfly, Daphne Khong was in a league of her own, keeping the field by over three seconds to clock a 2:17 finish. 

Sam Lyon continued his speedy day by winning the 200 individual medley (1:59.14) and taking second in the 50 freestyle (12.97). Emory Burden swept the sprint events with wins in the 50 freestyle (21.29) and contributing to a win in the 200 freestyle relay.
