Prior to earning Heath's first state gold medal Hodan won the silver medal in the 200 IM with her 2:06.50 that dropped almost seven seconds off her preliminary time of 2:13.07.

The Rockwall boys 200 Medley Relay team of Alex Fontenot, Jonathan Walters, Ryan Lang and Matt Lang finished 10th with its time of 1:42.27.
Walters came in ninth overall, first in the consolation finals, in the 100 Breast with his 1:01.06, Lang (Ryan) finished 12th in the 200 Free (1:47.87) and Fontenot swam 56.85 in the 100 Back for 15th place to spark the Jackets at the state championships.
