The men won seven individual crowns – including both relays – to carry them to victory over the Volunteers, beating them for the second-consecutive dual of the weekend. Junior Ilya Kharun set the school record in the 100 fly in a swift 43.38, which was a personal best.

Closing out the meet, junior JT Ewing won the 200 back in 1:39.00 and freshman Mattia Mauri had a runner-up finish in the 500 free with a 4:20.10. The men’s 200 medley relay nearly tied the school record, touching the wall at 1:20.56 and being one-one-hundredth of a second off the mark. The men’s 200 free relay team won in 1:13.72, which is the second-fastest time in school history.
The women’s 200 medley relay gave the Sun Devils a strong start, finishing in 1:37.01 for the first win of the morning. Junior Miriam Sheehan had a strong showing in the 100 back with a first-place finish of 52.55 for the win.
