In the 200 breaststroke, Webb won, with Schelling taking second. Webb notched a 2:22.30, while Schelling swam a 2:23.50 in the race.
“Mitchell, Grant, and Connor were great today,” said Nisgor. “Morgan was big as well.”
Grant Gooding claimed runner-up honors in the 200 IM. He logged a 2:09.25 in the contest. In the 200 butterfly, Barnard, Shawn Fujii, and Baldoni collected spots two through four in the event.
