Amer swam anchor on the 200 medley relay that opened the afternoon timing 1:38.53 for the win. Also on that team were David Mangini (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.), Jason Brisson (Richmond, Va.), and Geoff Ramsdell (Richmond, Va.). In the 100 fly, Amer cruised to the front of the pack with his time of 53.49 seconds, and finished his afternoon on the fastest 200 free relay (1:27.68) with Kevin Lynch (Roanoke, Va.), Nick Duda (Vienna, Va.), and Alex Jendzejec (Reston, Va.).

Also winning a pair was Duda, who swam 1:45.39 in the 200 free along with his turn on the 200 free relay team, and sophomore Kevin Gallagher (Bridgewater, N.J.), who swept the 50 free in 22.08 seconds and the 100 back in 54.71 seconds.
