The "A" cuts continued with Huske in the 100 fly, as the junior clocked a 49.24 to take the event title. Johnson finished fourth with a 51.68, while Annika Parkhe and Lillie Nordmann would place 5th and 7th, respectively. 

The 200 Free "A" final saw three Cardinal finish in the top eight, with Kayla Wilson finishing third with a 1:43.33 to lead the way, while Roghair (1:43.89) came in fourth and Mannion (1:46.53) finished eighth.
