In the final three events, senior diver Jamie Acks (Solon, Ohio) took the top mark in the three-meter dive (235.50) followed by Michaela Hahn-Lawson's (Painesville, Ohio) first-place finish in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:25.49). Ohio's relay team of Ashley Marion (London, Ontario), Lindsey DeStefano (Wildwood, Mo.), Amanda Cecere (Chelmsford, Mass.) and Ilse Petersen (Johannesburg, South Africa) then capped off the meet with a win in the 400-yard freestyle relay (3:23.89). For the second straight meet freshman Stacey Huber (Gainesville, Fla.) recorded two individual victories for the Bobcats, touching the wall first in the 200-yard freestyle (1:56.02) and the 500-yard freestyle (5:09.18). Ohio freshman Rachel Heim (San Diego, Calif.) also recorded a first-place finish for Ohio, touching the wall first in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 52.72. Petersen placed second in the 100-yard freestyle (52.83), touching the wall a little over a tenth of a second after Heim.
