Baylor Nelson finished in the top spot in three individual events. The sophomore placed first in the 200 free (1:33.97), 200 back (1:42.34) and 400 IM (3:46.13). Nelson also contributed to the first-place finish in the 400 medley relay. 

The diving team swept the springboards against Georgia Tech. Allen Bottego won the 1-meter scoring a 364.73 and Victor Povzner took first on the 3-meter board scoring a 431.18.
