Racing in the long-course time trials, Ella Martin's 2:29.28 in the 200-Meter IM saw her finish 12th, missing the 2:16.09 qualification standard.
Amber Martin bested her seed time to post a 1:04.56 in the 100-Meter Butterfly, though she was unable to crack the 1:00.19 standard.

Tsuei's 1:06.70 in the 100-Meter Backstroke saw her finish eighth, though she did not meet the 1:01.89 benchmark for further advancement. Yorkman (2:22.58) was also short of the 2:13.59 needed in the 200-Meter Backstroke.
Turner also swam in the 100-Meter Freestyle, as the junior topped her seed time of 58.89 to clock in at 58.46, though she needed a minimum of 55.79 for trials qualification. Turner's time was good for fourth among the 13 swimmers. Turner also turned in a 26.98 in the 50-Meter Freestyle,

In his evening swim, Swigart topped his morning time to post a 1:48.09, placing 10th. Meanwhile, James Winterfield clocked in at 1:49.90 in the same swim, representing his best time at the meet.
Swigart also took part in the 200-Meter IM in the long-course trials, finishing second with a 2:05.84. The sophomore needed a 2:03.49 or better for Olympic consideration.
Winterfield returned for the 100-Meter Butterfly, beating his seed time for a 56.37 to finish sixth. He did not meet the 53.59 standard for advancement.
