The Owls had a number of strong performances on the weekend, including in four relay events. The 200 Medley Relay set the tone early as sophomore Kimberly Torres (backstroke), freshman Cassidy Miller (breaststroke), freshman Katelyn Rivas (butterfly), and freshman Miranda Furuto (freestyle) teamed up to finish in 8th place out of 25 different teams with a time of 2:07.51. They followed that performance up on Saturday with a 6th Place finish out of 22 different squads in the 400 Medley Relay with a time of 4:37.86

Freshmen Alexandria Romero and sophomore Laurent Quintero would team up with Rivas and Furuto in the 200 and 400 Free Relay teams. In the 400 on Friday, that team finished 10th out of 24 teams with a time of 4:08.78, before coming back on Saturday with a 6th place finish out of 25 teams in the 200 with a time of 1:50.94.

Freshman Anahit Markosian also had a good showing in the 50 Breast with a time of 37.88 seconds, good enough for 14th Place overall.
