The Bulldogs' top showings came in the 50-yard freestyle, highlighted by graduate Miles Simon's season-best B-cut of 19.47, moving him into fourth all-time in program history. On the women's side, junior Briana Roberson set a new PB at 22.44 in finals, while senior Julianna Stephens also notched a new PB of 22.53 in morning prelims.
In the 200y butterfly time trials, graduate Bradley Dunham improved his B-cut with a personal-best time of 1:42.45. In other time trials, fellow graduate Millie Sansome dropped season-best times in the 100y backstroke (52.40) and 200y backstroke (1:55.40). Senior Wesley Ng also set a new season-best time in the men's 100y back at 45.60. In the men's 200y IM, fifth-year Zach Hils bested his previous season best with a B-cut of 1:42.58.
Sophomore Roman Valdez earned his first B-cut of the season with a PB of 46.88 in the 100y butterfly, while freshman Tristan DenBrok also grabbed a provisional cut of 4:24.03 in the 500y freestyle. Graduate Olivia Smith posted the Bulldogs' top time in the women's 100y butterfly with a PB of 54.44. In other personal bests, fifth-year Zoie Hartman added a B-cut in the 200y backstroke at 1:54.39, while sophomore Clayton Whetstine turned in a 1:48.79 in the 200y IM.
