The two Spartan teams won their championships differently though. While the men dominated the first-place position on the podium all night long while winning seven of the 11 races the women only won the very last event, the 400-yard freestyle relay. The women won because of depth as they placed a lot of swimmers in high places.

Daryl won the 100-yard fly and the 100-yard breaststroke while Nate won the 50-yard free and the 100-yard free.
