The boys, meanwhile, were led by a win from Kyle Grimes in the 50 free (24.15). The Wave also took second in four other races as Grimes was runner-up in the 100 fly (1:08.03) followed by Nathan Narag in the 200 free (2:42.65) and 100 free (1:07.92) and Austin Thomas in the 100 breaststroke (1:27.41).
