North Schuylkill claimed a 108–50 win in the girls’ meet and followed with a 121–8 victory in the boys’ competition, using depth across individual events and relays to build a steady scoring advantage. Mahanoy Area countered with several strong individual performances, particularly in the girls’ races, keeping multiple events competitive throughout the night.

Kamryn Wolfe led the Spartans with a win in the 200-yard freestyle and added a second-place finish in the 100-yard freestyle. Tatiana Salefski captured first place in the 200-yard individual medley and later won the 100-yard butterfly, while Keira Blozousky earned a victory in the 500-yard freestyle and placed second in the individual medley.
North Schuylkill’s depth was most evident in the 100-yard breaststroke, where Katelyn Nahodil, Elizabeth Nahodil, and Gracie Lucht finished first, second, and third. The Lady Spartans also controlled the relay events, winning both the 200-yard freestyle relay and the 400-yard freestyle relay.
