Two days after the Gates meet, the team traveled to Greece and captured their second road victory of the week. The 200 medley relay saw two evenly matched Fairport teams battle for the win. Matt McGraw, Reed Smith, Jeff Wood, and Cyrus Salehi finished strong to claim the win just ahead of the team of Jeff Kaemmerlen, Chris Razavi, Jon Roberts, and Pete Letteney. Finishing in fourth for the Raiders was the team of Tim Jacobs, Aram Salehi, Alex Hensel, and Nate Morales.

The Greece squad got the home fans fired up in the 200 free with a 1-2 finish. Nick Mihaljevic, Hans Feng, and George Wasickanin each swam well and finished in the third, fourth, and fifth spots for Fairport.

Fairport got back on the winning track with an exciting match up in the 200 individual medley which saw Wood come from behind to out touch teammate McGraw by three one-thousandths of a second. Smith added team points for the Raiders with his fourth-place finish.

Fairport's Roberts, Aram Salehi, and Morales finished 1-3-5 in the 50 free. Following a short warm-up the Fairport flyers dominated the competition with a 1-2-3 finish in the 100 butterfly. McGraw took the gold followed by Kaemmerlen in second and Cyrus Salehi in third.

Wood then kept momentum with the Raiders with a solid win in the 100 free with a time of 49.59. Wasickanin and Adam Craghead finished in fourth and fifth to further extend the Fairport lead.

Greece took the victory in the 500 free, but Aram Salehi and Jacobs battled for second with Salehi taking the silver with a strong last lap.

Fairport's 200 free relay team of Kaemmerlen, Craghead, Letteney, and Wood then claimed first, followed by Mihaljevic, Razavi, Wasickanin, and McGraw in third. Roberts then took the 100 back with a time of 59.09 followed by Cyrus Salehi in third and Feng in fourth.

Greece made one final charge with a 1-2 finish in the 100 breast with Smith and Morales claiming the third and fourth spots for the Raiders. Fairport finished up the meet with a win in the 400 free relay with the team of Feng, Letteney, Jacobs, and Aram Salehi. The team of Mihaljevic, Wasickanin, Razavi, and Hensel finished in fourth.

The final score was Fairport 94, Greece 73.
