Melhorn also got first in the 100 breast posting a time of 1:00:46. Max Parker would aid Melhorn for the men's side with a time of 4:30:57 in the 400 IM, which was good for a first place finish.

Haley Whitson carried the women competing in the 200 back, touching first (2:17:56).

"The team had a fantastic second day," said Head Coach Marty Wahle. "We got our jitters out of the way last night, and were way more aggressive and focused today. Most of our freshman are hitting close to best times and most of our returners are faster than this time last year. We are going into the second half of the season with awesome momentum."

HC will return to action on January 13 when they face Birmingham Southern.
