She added to her weekend haul of accolades in the 200 Mixed Medley relay when she swam the second leg of that intrasquad matchup which Claire McQuade anchored and additionally featured Jarrett Driever and Dylan Merritt from the men's team.
The Diplomats had a number of strong performances across multiple events. Stephanie Dolan took second in the 200 Freestyle (2:05.97) and third in the 50 Freestyle (25.80).
