Tonight's meet opened with the B heat in the Women's 800 Free which featured three teams. Next, eight women's teams took to the pool for the A heat including a Dolphins squad of Morgan Novello, Jessica Johnson, Melissa Poggioli and Katherine Ebrahim. That unit set the first of two program records on the night with a time of 8:50.21 in the event, good for ninth overall. Following another B heat, the men competed in the final heat of the evening, the 800 Yard Freestyle Relay A finals. The CSI team of William Kwan, David Poggioli, Charles Cusumano, and Anthony Attenborough followed up the women's record-setting performance with a record-setting performance of their own. The Dolphins clocked in at 7:15.75 in the event to take sixth overall.
