It was during the consolation finals of the 50 free that Hogstrom set a new school record as she touched in :25.69, good for 10th place. Hogstrom also made the consolation finals in two other individual events, placing ninth in the 100 free (:56.45) and 15th in the 200 free (2:06.64).

Three other Goucher swimmers made it to the consolation finals in a pair of events: Candace Crasto (Tallahassee, FL/Urbana), 11th place in the 50 free (:25.73) and 12th in the 100 breast (1:13.43); Samantha Sutherland (North Reading, MA/Austin Prep), 12th place in the 100 butterfly (1:04.73) and 14th in the 100 back (1:07.33); and Mara Baron (Plymouth, MN/Breck School), 16th in both the 200 butterfly (2:31.60) and the 100 butterfly (1:06.43).
