Tom Berryman and Angus Bolton also put on strong individual performances, with Berryman competing in the finals for the 50m and 100m backstroke and Bolton making the finals for the 200m butterfly, 200m breaststroke and 200m freestyle.
UNSW finished in 10th place overall for the event, coming in well ahead of their next placed competitor to emphatically round out the top 10 universities.
Our swimmers will now enjoy a well-earned break to rest and recover, before getting back into the pool and training for the upcoming season.
