At both meets, Kingwood won all the girls’ and boys’ relays. Jamie Friderichs, Jillian Vitarius, Cami Luhrs and Kathryn Hartwig set a freshman record in the 200-yard medley relay against Katy Taylor. Later in the same meet, Friderichs, Vitarius and Luhrs were joined by Rachael Lu to set another freshman record in the 400-yard freestyle – beating the previous mark by 4 seconds.
In the individual events, the boys standouts - winning events at both the dual meets - were seniors Austin Wilson and Evan Dalton along with juniors Steve Ciliske and Ryan Glander.
