Wood also finished in 20^th place in the preliminaries of the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:02.40.

The quartet of Pike, Wood, Sam Madriz (Union, N.J.), and Bryce Toumayan-Miller (Natick, Mass.) finished seventh in both relays contested Saturday, starting with a finals time of 1:49.93 in the 200 medley relay after completing the preliminary race in 1:48.68. In the 200 freestyle relay, the Pride posted a time in the finals of 1:37.05, an improvement from the preliminaries by 93/100ths of a second.

In the preliminaries of the 50 butterfly, Madriz finished in 19^th place with a time of 26.00 seconds and Toumayan-Miller ended up in 26^th place with a time of 28.80 seconds.
