Porter's first victory of the day came in the 200 Yard IM, when she recorded a time of 2:26.35 to finish atop the standings. Five events later, she won the 200 Yard Backstroke in 2:22.34, then secured the trifecta three swims after that, when she nabbed first place in the 100 Yard Backstroke with a time of 1:06.37.

Additionally, Porter was part of a second-place team finish in the 200 Yard Medley Relay, in which her squad combined for a time of 2:02.14.
