Halvorson claimed three runner-up individual finishes, taking second in the 50 freestyle (25.97), 100 freestyle (55.99) and 100 butterfly (1:03.92).  Kendall Van Sistine (Fy., Oshkosh, Wis. / Lourdes) took second in the 100 backstroke (1:06.04).  Hunter Hedenberg  (Fy., Newton, Mass. / North) was runner-up to Jordan in 1-meter diving (207.50) and 3-meter diving (212.60).
