DSU was the lone Division II participant in a meet that featured Division I schools Nevada, San Jose State and the host Toreros.
Freshman Kelsea Wright turned in the best overall finish of the day for the Trailblazers with a second-place result in the 200-yard free at 1:56.99. Meanwhile, sophomore Miriam Gonzalez clocked the third-fastest 50 back time in school history with a preliminary time of 31.56, and junior Audrey Hyde posted the fourth-fastest mark in the 50 fly with a final heat 27.89.
In addition, sophomore Hannah Bodkin recorded the seventh-best 50 breast time in program history with a final heat 32.55, while the team of Hyde, freshman Kenzie Chesler, Gonzalez and Wright placed fifth in the 400 free relays at 3:44.64 (No. 10 all-time at DSU).
