The Cats began the day with six athletes advancing to the finals in the 200 fly, including Haakon Naughton and Joel Nace, who put up top times that guaranteed them a place in the championship final. Naughton took home silver in the event, finishing with a 1:40.67, and Nace secured the bronze with a personal best (1:42.76).

In the 100 back, Paige Armstrong secured the top seed in the A final with a personal best and Arizona season-best 52.44. Freshman Kayman Neal, who last night earned the silver in the 200 free, followed closely behind, her 53.59 finish guaranteeing her a spot in the championship final as well. Armstrong took home the bronze in the final with a 52.95. Neal landed at No. 7 on the finals podium with her 53.41.
