The quartet came in 14th place overall with a time of 3:16.87 in the400 freestyle relay.
The 400 free relay team’s success also was replicated four times, as all of the remaining Virginia relay teams were granted All-America honors.

Christensen gave Virginia its highest individual finish, placing fifth in the 100 backstroke and sixth in the 200 backstroke. Jen Narum, meanwhile, also took honorable mention All-America honors in the 1650 freestyle, clocking in at 16:08.20.
