During the last day, Ellie Field (Adams, Mass.) from the women's team finished first in the 100 Yard Freestyle and touched the wall at 52.61. Casey Klein (Newtown, Conn.) placed third in the 50 Yard Backstroke at 28.09 and Kaley Youngcourt (Monroe, Conn.) finished third as well in the 100 Yard IM at 1:02.28.

For the men's team, Gabe Pasqualucci (Southbury, Conn.) was victorious in the 100 Yard Freestyle at 46.02. John Babuka (Richmond, Ky.) and Eamon McKenney (Portsmouth, R.I.) also won their individual events such as the 200 Yard Butterfly (1:57.25) and the 50 Yard Backstroke (23.53). In the 1650 Yard Freestyle event, Kirk Schultz (Cos Cob, Conn.) placed second at 16:37.66. Hunter Wronski (Shelton, Conn.) also came in second in the 200 Yard Breaststroke at 2:07.66.

Two awards were handed out this weekend including the Senior Swimmer High Point Award, which went to Hunter Olson and the Senior Diver High Point Award, which went to Josh Seabrook (West Haven, Conn.).  

Coach Matt Emmert stated, "This was a great meet all around for our program! It was a nice three-peat for our men and amazing job of obtaining runner-up for our young women's squad. Both teams were able to overcome the adversity that's inherent with a 3 1/2 day championship meet. We've invested a lot in our team culture this year and this meet is evidence our hard work is paying off. Very excited for the direction RWU Swim & Dive is heading!  #GDTBAH"

The Hawks concluded their season and look to continue their success next year.
