The Huskies had nine different swimmers post at least one victory on the night while the team totaled 14 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) marks during the meet.

Schnars, Rocchi, Fry, and Dix teamed up for a victory in the 200-yard medley relay to start the evening as the group touched the wall in 1:37.03 - two-and-a-half seconds faster than the Huskies "B" team of junior Corey Smith (Lansdale, Pa./North Penn), sophomore Noah Cancro (Limerick, Pa./Spring-Ford), sophomore Collin Hummel (Lewisburg, Pa./Lewisburg), and freshman Pat Agnew (Pottstown, Pa./Pottsgrove).

Roberts) was second with a time of 10:30.61. Dix then earned his first win of the night in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 21 seconds flat. He tied his season-best and the conference's season-best time with the showing on Friday night. Cancro followed with a victory in the 400-yard individual medley after touching the wall in 4:29.54.

In the 200-yard butterfly, Fry won for the second time on the evening with a PSAC mark of 2:01.73 - four seconds faster than junior teammate Jordan Wyant (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Trinity) who was second. Senior Matthew Schulz (Norristown, Pa./Methacton) finished third with a time of 2:07.32 - seven seconds better than his previous season-best time.
