In the 500 free, Nate Fisher and Max Piper came in first and third, with Max turning right around to anchor the 200 Free relay team of Will Gross, Liam Seifert and Ethan Ratynski. It was a close with Will Gross leading out in a 22.8 split, but in the end Powers touched second. 

No rest for Will or Liam as they jumped right back in the pool to go first and second in the 100 back!

Sophomore Bryce Gross won the 100 breast by dropping 2.30 seconds, only to line back up to anchor the next and last event, the 400 Free relay with the fastest split for that team. Nate Fisher, Ethan Ratynski, Max Piper and Bryce won that event to close out the night. 

In the end, both matchups were within a handful of points...we won one and lost one, but without any diving points, that is a huge night!
