Despite winning 18 of 29 races, the Westfield YMCA Boys Swim Team could not overcome a challenging Lakeland Hills and was edged, 11196 on January 29 at Wallace pool. The Devilfish concluded their dual meet season with a record of 33.

Westfield dominated the individual medley to open up an early lead as Alex Cameron (8& U), Dan Chabanov (1112), Ryan Bartholomew (1314) and Scott Kautzmann (1518) secured victories.
