Chris Rector opened the day with a 4:04.68 in the 400-IM prelims. His time marked the 9^th-fastest in UE program history but was just a preview of what was to come. In Thursday's finals, Rector lowered his time by over four seconds. His 4:00.01 marked the second-fastest time in program history while giving him a 17^th-place finish. It was also a personal record.
 
Evelyn Chin was equally impressive in the 100-Fly. She put forth her personal best effort with a 55.58 to finish in 10^th place in the morning prelims. Her time put her third in Purple Aces history. She later took 14^th place in the finals with a 56.23.
 
In the Men's 100-Fly, it was Alex Willis moving into the program top ten list. His prelim time of 50.39 put him into the finals where he would perform even better. His 49.67 marked the 7^th-best time in the UE record books while marking his PR. Wyatt Gallas was the fourth to register a program top ten time. In the 200-Free prelims, Gallas swam a PR of 1:40.89. It put him 10^th in program history.
 
A total of 11 PR's were set by Aces swimmers on Thursday including three in the Women's 200-Freestyle. UE looks to build on its momentum in Friday's third day of the conference championships.
