Her top finish came in the 100-yard backstroke where she finished in 56.60 seconds, breaking the school record and placing her third among Division III swimmers at this point of the season. In her freestyle events, she set the eighth-fastest time in D-III in the 50 at 23.98 seconds and her time of 53.3 seconds in the 100 places her 12th nationally.
