Avi Tromp and Erokhina added podium finishes in the 100 IM, while Martina Yuki Trionfetti led a strong sprint group with a third-place finish in the 100 free. The program continued to stack all-time marks with four top-10 additions, and depth showed across the board. On the boards, Addison Campbell, Violet Noel, and Mireya Ruiz combined for three top-eight platform finishes to close a milestone weekend for the Bears before the winter break.
