Burton finished fourth in the consolation finals (12th overall) of the 50 butterfly. She recorded a time of 27.00 seconds in the morning prelims. Bucceri was fourth in the conso finals of the 200 individual medley. Her prelim time was 2:12.41. Kate Rack '11 ended up eighth in the conso finals (16th overall) of the 50 breaststroke.
