The following day, Sun Young Byun earned a runner-up finish in the 200-yard butterfly, breaking her own program record with a time of 2:00.15. The Athenas continued to shine on the final day, as Katy Shaw secured second-team All-America honors with a 10th place finish in the 1650-yard freestyle, while the 400-yard freestyle relay team, consisting of Avalon Sanders, Mackenzie Mayfield, Sun Young Byun, and Kan, set a new program record of 3:25.70, finishing in 12th place.
On the men's side, William Jones also made a significant impact at the NCAA Championships.
