The Big Red notched a 7:04.78 in the event, taking down the previously held 7:07.35. The record-setting performance gave Nebraska a first-place victory. 

In the 200 medley relay, Virginia Consiglio, Amelia Riggott, Natalie Dunaway, and Beatrix Tanko led Nebraska with a sixth-place finish in 1:39.81. Additional Husker relay teams posted times of 1:43.20 (Laurin, Zboinski, Zanin, and Marchi) and 1:43.95 (Gogel, Lunn, Kissuk, and Hadford).

Highlighting the opening day of the midseason invite in the diving well was the Big Red team of Abby Baxter, Addy Farman and Kelsey Clairmont, which reached for a first-place finish in the team diving competition. The team of divers garnered 298.30 points in the six-round competition.
