Katie scorched the field by 2 seconds again in the 100 fly, setting a new lifetime best and Bishop Chatard record in 57.11, clipping the automatic qualifying standard for State.

In the next event, with only about 10 minutes rest, Hanna turned on the jets in her 100 back to go from 8th to 4th, dropping 2 seconds from her prelims time for a 1:03.89.

The biggest time drop of the day came in the 400 free relay, which saw Hanna (55.75), Sophia (1:01.96), Elaine (1:01.54), and Katie (52.32) each put up lifetime bests to finish 3rd in 3:51.57.
