Denver finished off the women’s racing in the 800 free relay, shattering the meet record by nearly ten seconds in 7:13.79.

Incarnate Word snagged a pair of the meet records on the men’s side, with Kyrylo Shvets (1:37.07) topping a tight 200 free field where 1st to 7th were all within less than eight tenths of each other. Oleksandr Karpenko got their other win of the night in the 100 breast, posting a time of 53.07.
