Junior Anthony Taboadela (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Hills) posted another effort as a triple winner, touching first in the 100 (54.24) and 200 backs (1:59.26) as well as the 200 IM (2:02.14). The junior's times in the 100 and 200 backs were season-best marks.

Sophomore Drew Macchia (Chatham, N.J./Chatham) was the Pioneers' only single winner, giving WP the victory in the 50 free (50.92). Macchia was narrowly out-touched in the 100 free, taking second by just .07 second.
