Aislyn Barnett delivered strong runner-up finishes in the 300 free and 150 breast, and the Eagles also found success on the boards as Alexandra Andueza secured first place in the 1-meter dive.

Saturday's invitational will follow a traditional meet format, featuring the 100 medley relay, 500 freestyle, 100s and 200s of each stroke, the 500 crescendo relay, the 100 IM, and concluding with the 100 freestyle relay.
