Staebell was part of the 200-yard medley relay team that won with a time of 1:39.50. To go along with the relay team victory, Staebell also won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 55.21 and the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 1:57.81, this was the best meet yet for Staebell as he played a crucial part in the Griffs men's team victory.
