The senior's 200-yard breaststroke time of 2:16.76 lowered the school record by nearly three seconds and was below the B Standard for the NCAA Championships. Capellupo's mark was also 0.46 seconds off of the C-USA 200-yard breaststroke record. In addition to the 200-yard breast, she also won the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:10.61.
