Bennett was second in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:37.23, three seconds faster than her seed time.

Emma Savidge of MG looked like she was going to win the 100-yard backstroke, but Rylee Johansen of Lake Stevens touched just before her at the end.

M-P was second in the 200-yard medley relay with Leary, Carson, Bennett and Jennica Harper swimming. MG was third with the team of Savidge, Pedersen, Isabella Bennett and Adrien Penny.

M-P also was second in the 200-yard freestyle relay. That team consisted of the same four swimmers. MG was third with the same team, except Kilbourn replaced Savidge.
