The men were led by Stephen Jones, who brought in eight points with second place finishes in both the 200-yard IM (1:53.24) and the 100-yard fly (54.77). Other second place finishers for the Red Wave included Tom Nguyen, who took the silver in the 50-yard freestyle (22.11), Caleb Murders, who got four points in the 100-yard freestyle (48.12), and Oscar Patten, who grabbed second in the 500-yard freestyle (4:54.89).
