He set NCAA A cuts in the 100 backstroke at 44.28 seconds, the 200 back at 1:38.34 and the 200 individual medley in 1:40.16. The 100 back time is the fastest in the nation this season.

Stadden won all four of her individual events in Minnesota. Her wins included in the 200 back in 1:49.21, the fastest time in the country. She also won the 100 back in 50.26, third-fastest in the nation this season. The senior from Blaine, Minn., was on victorious Cal 400 free and 400 medley relays.
