Another dominant performance came from Johnston's Olivia Swalley. She pulled off not one, but two three-peats in the 100 breaststroke and the individual medley, in which she set a new state meet record.

"This year, I had to give it all I got in prelims," said Swalley. "I tied the record which was...it felt really good, but I knew I had to come back harder for finals, and it worked out, so it was just the best feeling. Like a three-peat, it's always awesome but just senior year, it's like my celebratory year. It just feels so good and rewarding."
