Junior Jessie Godlewski (Apex, N.C.-Apex) had a season-best finish in the 200 fly, as her time of 2:02.03 gave her a first-place finish in the event. The day concluded with one final win for the Eagles as the 400 free relay team of Detro, Godlewski, junior Sara Ghaffari (Bolinas, Sweden-Torsbergsgynasiet) and sophomore Mary Kate MacLean (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.-Detroit Country Day) finished with a 3:25.67 mark.
