All three of BU's entries in the 200 freestyle relay placed in the top 12 with the 'A' group of Newman, Mitchell, sophomore Sasha Ramey and junior Sydney Sorbello leading the way in fifth (1:34.22).
The 400 medley relay closed out the night with BU taking three of the top 13 spots and the 'A' quartet placing fourth as Mitchell, Scafetta, Newman and Ramey clocked in at 3:45.83.
