The UNC commit earned 53 points from swimming in three ‘A’ finals and two ‘B’ finals. The sprint freestyle events were where she shined, as her sixth-place finishes in the 50/100 freestyle (22.39/49.28) were her best at the meet. She also took eighth in the 200 IM (2:00.64), won the 100 fly ‘B’ final (53.22), and was tenth in the 100 back (53.14). Sophia Sunwoo joined Meskill in both sprint freestyle ‘A’ finals.

Meskill combined with Sophia Sunwoo, Heather White, and Gracyn Kehoe to win the 200 freestyle relay by .08 seconds over the Mission Viejo Nadadores (1:29.84).

Lakeside earned 358 points, beating runners-up Aquajets by more than 100 points. Williamson earned the boys’ high point award with 116 points; no other male swimmer crossed the 100-point threshold. Alone, Williamson’s individual points would’ve finished 10th overall. He won the 50 free (19.29), 200 free (1:32.24), 100 back (46.70), 100 free (41.96), and 200 fly (1:42.17).

Williamson, Maxwell Stanislaus, Aubrey Jaya, and Luke Garrett secured the 800 free relay win, swimming 6:22.48 to win by more than four seconds over the Sandpipers of Nevada (6:26.65).

Across the two championships—West and East—only the Lakeside and Bolles School boys broke 1:20. The team fielded Stanislaus, Garrett, Jaya, and Williamson in the 400 freestyle relay to close the meet. Once again, the team won handily, as they had been doing with a variety of lineups since the 800 freestyle relay on the competition’s first day. The team touched in 2:54.12 for the win. The Lakeside boys brought 11 to the meet, four of whom scored individual points. In addition to the strength of Williamson and the relays, Stanislaus gave the squad a 1-2 finish in the 200 free as he took second behind Williamson (1:34.97).

They dominated the meet, racking up 490 points as the Lakeside Swim Team scored 280 points for second place.
