Freshman Liz Eberlein (Troy, MI/Marian) made her Lake Forest debut a successful one with victories in both the 1,000 and 500-yard freestyle races. Her time in the 1,000 was 11:39.57 and her 500 time was 5:41.30. Sophomore Emily Woods (Signal Mountain, TN/Girls Prep) and freshman Erin Colwell (Northfield, MN/Northfield) each won an event as well. Woods touched the wall first in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 1:01.99 and Colwell's 2:04.73 in the 200-yard freestyle was also good enough for first place.

On the men's side, Lake Forest beat Carroll by a 151-65 margin while falling to Carthage, 118-87. Carthage outscored Carroll, 164-58.

The Foresters' Brady Lowdermilk (Parker, CO/Regis), Jeremy Koop (Newton, KS/Newton), and Joe Isaacs (Shorewood, MN/Breck) were all double-event winners. All three started the day by teaming up with senior Eric Boarini (Wadsworth, IL/Carmel) on the victorious 200-yard medley relay team, which finished in 1:43.15. Boarini completed the last 50 yards of the race in just 21.71 seconds to lead the come-from-behind win. Lowdermilk later placed first in the 100-yard backstroke in 57.95 seconds. Koop's 2:15.60 was the best time in the 200-yard individual medley. Isaacs got his other win in the 200-yard freestyle relay when Lake Forest finished first in 1:35.67.
