Demco additionally secured First Team accolades in the distance medley relay and Honorable Mention recognition in the 1,600-meter relay. Demco helped Libby Geisness, Vanessa Jenneman and Hannah Lohrenz to a conference-leading time of 12:38.41 in the distance medley relay and Geisness, Jenneman and Kyra Huber to a season-best effort of 4:02.52 in the 1,600-meter relay.
