In the finals, Chick took first in the 200-meter butterfly and second in the 200-meter freestyle, after winning the preliminary for that event by more than three seconds. Malone came in second in the finals of the 100-yard butterfly with a personal best time of 58:18 after winning the preliminary for the event.
Other Bulldogs posting personal bests were Rachel Meyer in the 500-meter free, Zoey McKinley for the 100-meter breast stroke, and the lone Bulldog boys swimmer Taylor Ford in the 50-and 100-meter freestyle.
