Brothers Adam and Jordan Hollander were involved in all the record-setting efforts - three individual and two relays - for Milken. Viewpoint had four swimmers score in six individual events and three score in the other two to finish with 471 points, well ahead of Milken's 349. The Patriots finished fourth in the 200 medley relay and third in the 200 free relay, and Alex Brody, Patrick Caloz, Michael Segal and Chase Zacha won the 400 free relay in 3 minutes, 34.29 seconds.
