Three other Wolves recorded two wins on the night adding much needed points to the team total. Along with being a member of the 200 medley relay; Taylor added a time of 2:20.55 in her win of the 200 backstroke, Peterson added a time of 56.37 in her win of the 100 freestyle, while Katelyn Rhodes took both the 200 freestyle (2:01.34) and the 500 freestyle (5:20.90).
