In the 100-yard freestyle, Jacob Mullin paced the Big Red, winning the race in 48.53. Pierson Ohr (48.89), Jeremy Marcin (49.00) and Morrison (49.45) rounded out the top-four, placing second, third, and fourth, respectively.

Ricardo Martinez was Cornell's top finisher in the 400-yard IM, placing first in 4:08.12. Ryan Pirrung was not far behind, finishing second with a time of 4:08.48. Paige daCosta (4:13.65) and Owen Downs (4:15.25) completed the top-four, coming in third and fourth, respectively.

In the diving events, Brett Hébert and Jameson Crandell were a dynamic duo, claiming the top-two spots in both the 1-meter and 3-meter competitions. Crandell finished first in the 1-meter (273.90), while Hébert followed in second (262.27). In the 3-meter, it was Hébert's turn to shine, as he won the competition with a point total of 293.40. Crandell placed second with 283.81 points.

Back in the pool, James Huang and daCosta each picked up an individual event win of their own. Huang won the 200-yard IM with a time of 1:55.48, while daCosta got the win in the 100-yard backstroke with a mark of 51.65.
