UNK tallied 329 points to get past the host Division III Pioneers, NAIA College of Saint Mary (Neb.) and Iowa Central C.C. Three men's teams took part as well, with Midland (Neb.) winning that race.
The Aqualopers won one relay and five individual events and had 19 other top-five finishes. Taking the gold in their respective events were Wyoming junior Jaesa Whitesell (200 breaststroke/2:32.97), Kansas sophomore Joslynn Grace (200 back/2:14.27 and 400 I.M./4:43.98), and Kansas freshmen Josie Ebel (100 fly/1:01.97) and Libby Barney (100 free/54.48). Next, the 200-medley relay turned in 1:52.33 with Barney the anchor and Grand Island freshman Delayna Hermesch lead. Finally, Barney (seventh) and Grace (eighth; 200 back) move into the all-time top 10 with their individual times.
In other events, Whitesell (100 breast/career best 1:09.44), Barney (400 I.M./4:51.61), Louisiana freshman Ryli Cazenave (200 free/2:04.77) and Wyoming freshman Kaitlin Diver (1,000 free/12:04.36) all came in second, as did the 400-free relay squad (3:44.63).
