In the Varsity Division, Landon Baarsdeth placed 30th, Wesley Ranis placed 28th, and Deacon Durnil placed 8th.

There were no 500 Freestyle swimmers for OHA-L, so the next event for our team was the 200 Freestyle Relay.

In the Varsity Division, the team made up of Wesley Ranis, Colton Klein, Kyle Stephany, and Landon Baarsdeth placed 9th.
