The men's team ended the day in ninth place after tallying 48 points. The women's squad is currently tied-for-19th place after earning 14 points on day one.

To begin the night, the quartet of Jordan Fox (Melbourne Austrailia), Jia Yi Koh (Subang Jaya, Malaysia), Julia Brunner (Traverse City, Mich. / St. Francis) and Marina Tarlev (Athens, Greece) collected 15th place in the 200 medley relay.

After notching a 1000 free time of 10:12.53 in the morning session, Fox officially earned 11th place overall in the event. That added six points to the WSU women's team score.

In the 50 free, Cvetko claimed seventh place, recording a time of 19.69. He garnered 12 points for WSU.

To conclude the night, the men's and women's teams each participated in the 200 free relay. The women's team of Koh, Brunner, Tarlev and Barbara Munoz (Yumbo, Colombia) placed 15th, touching out in 1:34.14. They helped WSU collect four points.
