Mallory Jarvi and Ashley Groebner each won two individual events, Mikayla Von Wahlde won one individual event and was part of two winning relays and Meghan Kratz had one individual win and one relay win to lead CSB.

"The team has a hard week of practice, but was able to have a good meet racing today," head coach Dan Eckberg said. "We scored a good amount of points with people in events they normally don't swim, so that is very encouraging."
