Runner-up finishes included Behm in the 200-yard free, France in the 1,000-yard free, Cerchiaro in the 200-yard individual medley, Corey Koss in the 100-yard backstroke and Noah Frederick in the 100-yard breaststroke.

The 200-yard medley relay team of Koss, Frederick, Cerchiaro and Boyd also finished second.

On the women's side, Jillian Wright recorded a pair of individual wins, finishing first in the 200-yard free and 100-yard breastroke.
