UW-Green Bay, UW-Whitewater, UW-La Crosse, Carroll University (Wis.), UW-Oshkosh, Lawrence University and Beloit College also participated in the event.

He also took second in the 200-yard backstroke with a mark of 1:56.89. Mitch Scarski trailed him with a time of 2:00.73 in the 200-yard backstroke, good enough for ninth place.
 
The 400-yard freestyle relay team of James Weslaski, Chris Russo, Lee Hollman and Nate Rodriguez took third place with a final time of 3:13.76.
 
The 200-yard medley relay team of Gabriel, Riordan, Hollman and Weslaski notched third place with a time of 1:37.31. Weslaski claimed second place in the 50-yard freestyle relay with a mark of 21.74, approximately a half second off the first-place finisher.
 
Russo secured seventh place in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:47.22, good enough for seventh place. Cooper Hawkins (sixth, 2:00.87), Mitch Scarski (seventh, 2:01.30) and Riordan (eighth, 2:01.46) all snuck in the top-10 in the 200-yard individual medley relay. Hawkins (fifth, 2:14.77) and Riordan (sixth, 2:14.77) were tick-for-tack in the 200-yard breaststroke.
