Plainfield North sophomore, Ryan Netzel won both the 100 fly and the 200 free, that of which he swam a new in-season best time of 1:46.17.

Finally, Plainfield North sophomore, Jack Farnan took second place in the 100 backstroke, finishing with a time of 59.89. Farnan has been working all season to swim under a minute in this event, making this the first meet he has swam under his mark for this year.
