- Dating back to last season, the Shoremen have now won 17 consecutive dual meets. That is the longest head-to-head win streak by any Washington College varsity team since the women's swim team won 24 dual meets in a row by winning 12 straight to end the 2000-01 season and then going 12-0 during the 2001-02 season.
- McDaniel finishes its dual-meet schedule with a 1-8 overall record and an 0-6 mark in conference meets.
