Three Dolphins swimmers won three solo events and two relays at the event - Roslyn Sronce (girls 8&un), Ian Henne (boys 13-14) and Zach Hall (boys 15-18). Henne also set two Pinckneyville records on Thursday, breaking a 2009 mark in the 13-14 boys backstroke (1:16.68) and bettering his time in the butterfly (45.68).

Karsen Konkel also had a tremendous meet for the Dolphins, winning the boys 6&un backstroke (40.81) and freestyle (30.87) and setting team records with his time in both events. Konkel was also on two record-setting relay teams in the 8&un division - the medley relay (Konkel, Steven Hirte, Nile Adcock, Joey Wright - 2:32.94) and the freestyle relay (Konkel, Hirte, Wright, Adcock - 2:16.78).

Hirte added a record in the 8&un breaststroke (33.72).

Savannah Cheek (girls 11-12) broke three records on Thursday with her victories in the butterfly (49.55), breaststroke (1:00.90) and freestyle (46.02) races. The breaststroke and freestyle marks had stood since coach Megan Shute set them back in 1995.

Olivia Mathis (girls 15-18) added three solo race wins against Chester.
