Jakson Winn, Joe Hutchinson, Charlie Krone, and Lucas Waasdorp were first for the men thanks to a 1:35.36 clip. Next was the 1000-free. Julie Gill clocked an 11:02.61 and Lucas Hoke touched the wall at 10:03.63 for a women's and men's sweep. The 200-free saw Ava LaBrose turn in a 1:57.05 and Vladislav Kazakin stop the clock at 1:44.23. In the backstroke, Jedryka's 1:00.40 was the fastest women's time and Jack Fulham's 53.27 led the men. The long-order program continued with Anna Bream and Joe Hutchinson winning the 100-breast. Mikaela Khan and Krone were fastest in the 100-fly. Quick sprints won by Tierney and Kevin Burns brought the meet to its first intermission.
 
After the break, VanderMeer and Jakson Winn were winners in the 100-free. Then, Bream struck again the 200-back with Reid Wilkerson best in the men's race. A daunting 200-breast finished with Ava Burger and Fausto Angelone-Lopez touting the quickest pace. That brought one more distance test – the 500-free. Khan produced the fastest time in the women's race – 5:20.96. Nathan Moss had the best pace in the men's race at 4:56.11. The 100-fly brought the event into the final break after a 59.13 from Jennifer Pierson and a 51.62 churned out by Krone. Following the reprieve, Bream won the women's 400-IM, Evan Angeline was fastest in the same men's event.
