Jason Dutra joined Deatly on the winners platform for the Saint men, taking the 200 IM in 2:056.52 and adding a second in the 200 back. Deatly added a third in the 200 fly to his two wins and Matt Bauer scored first in the 100 breaststroke and the team of Grant Reeder, Ryan Karklin, Bauder and Dutra scored first in the 400 free relay as RIT swam exhibition in those events.
