Daniels captured the 100 breaststroke in 1:12.25 and placed second in the 50 free in 25.76 seconds, Randell was the winner in the 500 free in 5:52.84 and the runner-up in the 1000 free in 11:59.51, and Newsome won the 1000 free in 11:51.21 and took second in the 100 back in 1:06.64.

First-year Marta Gershanok (Closter, N.J.), who placed second in the 200 IM, swam the lead-off leg of both winning relay teams. She was joined by Daniels, Turham and Silver on the winning 200 medley relay team and by senior Emily Tran (Longmeadow, Mass.), Racicot and Netishen on the 400 free relay squad.
