Breeze was light and shifty to begin on Saturday, and, while the senior and junior teams started the day poorly, the sophomores shot to the front with consistently high finishes. Later in the day, breeze picked up, as did the rest of Loyola's performance, with everyone finishing in the top five and everyone winning one or more races and in Davis Porter's case, 4.  Loyola ended day 1 with the sophomores in second place, and the seniors in third. In the A division, Alex Post was in second to New Trier by two points and Tommy Holmberg was in third by 16 points and John Kinzel was close behind. Davis was in second place in the B division.

The beginning of day 2 had Davis  winning a redress that moved the sophomores to first place. Davis had a great day of consistent finishes, leading him to win the B division.  In the A division, Post lagged while Kinzel won a race, and Holmberg won two in a row, moving him to the lead in the division with Post and Kinzel tied five points back. At this point, Loyola was in first, second, and third in the divison with. The A division all came down to a heated last set. Holmberg and Kinzel took subpar a 12th and thirteenth in the second to last race, moving Post into the lead. It all came down to the final race won by New Trier. Steph Hudson of New Trier took first, followed by Post, Holmberg, and Kinzel.

The sophomores took first place in the team score, followed by the seniors, who took third.
