Truman, which won its third straight title, scored 682 points to best Drury's total of 412. UC San Diego and West Chester tied for third with 392 1/2 points.

A dominant Truman squad claimed nine of 21 events. The tandem of Liz Hug and Kelli Dudley won the 1,000-yard freestyle, the 200-yard backstroke, and both individual medley swims. Diana Betsworth won her fourth career title with a win in the 500-yard freestyle.

Newcomer Loni Burton was a one-woman show with her wins in the 50-, 100- and 200-yard freestyles and the 100-yard butterfly. Other top individual performances came from UC Davis' Yuka Kobayashi, who won the 100-yard backstroke and the 200-yard butterfly, and UC San Diego's Rosanna Delurgio, who swept the breaststroke events.

In diving, two different champions were crowned. Lauren Lafranchise of Cal St. Bakersfield won the one-meter event, while North Dakota's Erin Borgshatz claimed the three-meter.
