The men took second with a score of 655 behind College of Charleston who had 797 points.
Stand out performances on day one were delivered by Tessa Pena (Apex, N.C., Middle Creek) who turned in a B-cut time of 17:18.28 for first place in the mile. Her time was also a new school record. Alex Menke (Fayetteville, Ga., Whitewater ) (15:44.88) and Ethan Rowan (Matthews, N.C., Covenant Day ) (16:05.29) tapped the wall in third and fourth place, respectively, in the same event. Both times were NCAA B-cut standard as well.
In the 800-yard freestyle relay, the women swimmers clocked in at 7:41.55, a new school record and under the B-cut standard. The men's relay team took first place in the event with a time of 6:41.14 missing the NCAA A-cut standard by a hair while also setting a new program record.
On day two, Pena swam exceptionally well again winning the 400 IM in 4:29.42, a new school record and B-Cut standard. Madeleine Wallmon (Danderyd, Stockholm, Sweden, Viktor Ryderg Gymnasium) also set a new school record picking up another first place finish for Queens with another NCAA B-cut standard time of 57.86 in the 100-yard butterfly. The women's 400-yard freestyle relay team made up of Lillian Gordy (Winston-Salem. N.C., Reagan), Wallmon, Pena and Kristin Diemer (Oak Ridge, N.C., Northwest Guilford) capped the day edging Gardner Webb for the number one spot in 3:30.11. The time also broke the program record of 3:38.96 and met B-cut standards.
The men came off the block Saturday picking up a win in the first event, the 200-yard medley relay, with an NCAA B-Cut time of 1:30.82. The school record breaking team was made up of Austin Hughey (Auburn, Ala., Auburn ), Niclas Eriksson (Indianapolis, Ind., International School of Indiana), Kyle House (Lawrenceburg, Ind., East Central ) and John Long (Jacksonville, Fla., Bishop Kenny). House also collected a victory tapping the wall at 50.56 in the 100-yard backstroke, while Long turned in a time of 20.25 for first in the 50-yard free. Both times were new program records with House's making the NCAA B-cut standard, while Long's making the A-cut standard. Eriksson picked up the third individual first place win in the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:04.74. The men's relay team then returned to the pool ending the night with a win in the 400-yard freestyle relay in 3:02, another B-cut standard. This team was made up of Long, Skuba, Hughey and Hayden Kosater (Macon, Ga., Mount de Sales Academy).
The third and final day began with the men picking up yet another relay win, this time being in the 200-yard free in front of a nice size crowd of supporters, which included parents, other program coaches and administration. Long, House, Hughey and Skuba teamed up again turning in a B-cut standard time of 1:22.11, another school record.
