Junior Anthony Taboadela (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Hills) touched first in the 100 IM (56.13) and 50 back (26.61), barely missing record times in both events.

Freshman Jimmy Sharkey (Hamilton, N.J./Hamilton West) won the 1,000 (11:39.40) and 500 (5:30.45) frees, both of which were personal bests. Freshman Emmanuel Garcia (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) also claimed two events, winning the one-meter (154.06) and three-meter (151.30) dives.

WP's balanced win also included three single winners, led by freshman Eamon Logue (Vernon, N.J./Vernon Twp.) and his personal-best time in the 100 free (53.06). Senior Nick Cowie (Newton, N.J./Newton) won the 50 fly (25.03) and sophomore Drew Macchia (Chatham, N.J./Chatham) took home the 50 free (23.06), coming up just .06 second behind Cowie in the 50 fly.
