Three Lions recorded top finishes apiece, as freshman Rick Sutton continued his impressive rookie campaign with first-place finishes in the 1000 yard freestyle (10:21:17) and the 100 yard backstroke (56.18 seconds) to jumpstart the Lions.

Sophomore Stephen Thomas also recorded two victories, first in the 200 yard IM with a 2:06.31 time and then in the 100 yard butterfly event with a 56.79 second time. Junior Sean Spellacy won the 200 yard freestyle (1:55.21) and the difficult 500 yard freestyle (5:11:34). Fellow junior Timmy Pierce clocked in at 50.69 seconds to win the 100 freestyle event.
