Annalise Wright, who had made the 8 1/2 hour journey back from University for the weekend made sure it was worth it, by taking 1.4 seconds off her own record in the 200 Individual Medley and chipping one second off the 100 Fly, a record that has stood since 2011.

In total there were 12 individual and 34 relay PBs (personal best times).
