The Gusties also took the top three spots in five different events including the 1000 free (Whitaker Davis, 1st, John Rice, 2nd, and Ben Stewart, 3rd), the 50 free (Clem Auyeung, 1st, Matt Stewart, 2nd, and Tyler Wakefield, 3rd), the 100 free (Matt Stewart, 1st, Tyler Wakefield, 2nd, and Dave Pearson, 3rd), the 500 free (Skylar Davis, 1st, John Rice, 2nd, and Whitaker Davis, 3rd), and the 200 individual medley (Skylar Davis, 1st, Dave Pearson, 2nd, and Billy Schultze, 3rd).
