Sasser also placed first in the 200-yard Individual Medley and was part of four first place relay teams for the Jeffs, the 400 and 800-yard Freestyle Relay and the 200 and 400-yard Medley Relay. Senior teammate Piper Pettersen (Kirkland, Wash.) was named Four-Year High Point Swimmer for her performance over her career. Tufts junior Kendall Swett (Akron, Ohio) earned Diver of the Meet after winning both the 1 and 3-Meter Dives.
