After winning the 200 medley relay with a sweep of the top two places, John Carroll duplicated that effort in the 1000 Free. Ryan Tipping brough home a win with a time of 11:36.34. Tom Barden made it a 1-2 finish with his runner-up mark of 11:46.63. JCU was already ahead after two events, 29-7.
In his JCU debut, Eric Davis would win the men's 200 Free in a big way. His time of 1:53.31 was enough to win the race by more than six seconds. He was followed to the wall by teammate and fellow rookie Blake Pinchot (1:59.75).
David Perchinske and Tony Russo posted yet another first and second place finish in the men's 50 Free. Perchinske swam a time of 23.77, while Russo was close behind at 24.12.

Even though the men would go exhibition from there on out (meaning no team points were accrued), they would still win the actual races in the final two events. #Alex Valigosky and Brandon Albarano# would go 1-2 in the men's 100 breast. Valigosky touched the pad in 1:10.57, while Albarano's time was close behind at 1:11.24.
