Matthew Chai set the tone for FAST by winning the 500, 1000 and 1650-yard Freestyle events and scoring in the 200 as well, totaling 118 points.  His 1,000 time of 8:51.61 was also a team record (Previous Record: Matthew Chai -- 8:55.31, 12/11/2021).

Skyer Kao added 25 points to the team total with a 5th place in the 1,650-yard Freestyle.
