Senior Matthew D'Elia (Old Bridge, N.J.) and first-years William Iglar (Marietta, Ga.) and Ilaan Garware (Pune, India) also captured individual victories in the Beavers' triumph.

Anutarasoti touched the wall first in the 200 free in a personal-best time of 1:46.52 and the 100 backstroke in 57.50 seconds. He also swam the leadoff leg and was followed by first-years Nathan Huynh (Naperville, Ill.), Liam Maloney (Tampa, Fla.) and Thomas Ambelang (Bernardsville, N.J.) on the winning 200 medley relay in a time of 1:39.43.

Taslokov was the winner of the 50 free in 22.58 seconds and the 100 fly in 54.10.; Krol was the high scorer in both the one-meter and three-meter diving, scoring 289.35 on the low board and 282.35 on the high board; and Rhee captured the 200 IM in 1:59.95 and the 100 breaststroke in 1:03.10.

D'Elia was the first-place finisher in the 500 free in a time of 5:05.15; Iglar earned first-place honors in the 100 free in 48.65 and took second in the 50 free (22.67); and Garware posted a personal-best time of 17:23.64 to win the 1,650 free.
