Eight different Pioneers won individual events with senior Micah Rysavy and juniors Zach Martin and Ezra Billings each posting two victories. Seniors Aidan Ringel and Isaac Anderson, junior Michael Spicer, sophomore Aidan Beatty and first year Isaiah Frei also posted wins.

In the event with the biggest field of the night, Billings beat out five other swimmers in the 50 Fly. The junior touched the wall in 23.42 to take first place.

Rysavy won the final individual event of the night over four other swimmers in the 100 IM. Rysavy beat everyone to the wall with a final time of 56.29. Spicer closed in 58.39 to finish in second place. Anderson (1:02.15) and Holmberg (1:02.58) raced to the wall with the pair placing third and fourth. 
 
Rysavy added his second win in a head-to-head matchup with LoCurto. The pair traded the lead back-and-forth in the 200 Free with both swimmers posting big season-best times. In the end, Rysavy placed first when he touched the wall in 1:49.53. LoCurto came in just behind his senior teammate with a mark of 10:51.03. 
 
Martin picked up a pair of wins of his own. The junior beat out four swimmers to win the 100 Free. Martin earned the victory when he touched the wall in 58.68. LoCurto was just behind him in second with a mark of 50.29. Ringel (53.91) and Beatty (1:02.31) placed third and fifth.
