Second place was Elinor Duley, Olivia Sapio, Katie Pollock and Jenna Krull in a time of 1:36.17. Finishing in third place with a time of 1:37.93 was Sydnie Sovinsky, Allie Stockwell, Anna Vitolins, and Maddy Rogan.

"I was very pleased," stated Head Coach Andy Bashor. "The energy they brought from the beginning of the meet all the way through, that is something we talk about and it was great to see. We went out there and raced, we competed. It was really good to see in the first meet of the year."

Highlighting the diving events was Victoria Franz who took home first place in the 1-meter dive with a score of 286.35 and second place in the 3-meter dive while scoring a 271.70. In her first collegiate meet, she qualified for the NCAA Diving Zones. Finishing in first in the 3-meter dive was Journi Northorp with a score of 283.10.
