Other winners included 2022 All-American Kate Brush (200 butterfly), Sarah Buchman (50 freestyle) and the 400 medley relay team consisting of Liz Duncan, Hewitt, Brush and Megan Simonson.
 
"As our early season begins, we asked the team to focus on the technical aspects over the total times," head coach Anne Goodman James said. "It was good to see them start to make those corrections, as well as to split races so evenly. We are looking forward to racing again tomorrow."
