In between these two dual meets Fairport participated in the annual Spencerport Holiday Relays. The competition this year consisted of the host team, Irondequoit, Churchville-Chili, Lockport, and Livonia. The format of this meet is all relay events, and is meant to be a competitive but fun event for the six teams involved.

Kaemmerlen, Razavi, Koenig and Wasickanin came in 2nd in the 200 medley relay in 1:50.26, .01 seconds behind the winners in a very close race. Woytash, Jacobs, Salehi, and Beaudry produced the first Red Raider win by a wide margin in the 800 freestyle relay in a solid 7:58.31. Feng, Jacobs, Harrington, and Wood were 3rd in the 200 butterfly relay.

In the 200 yard breastroke relay, the Fairport foursome of Fisher, Kaemmerlen, Feng, and Wood smashed the 15 year old meet record with a time of 1:55.01, but an unfortunate disqualification negated this fine effort. Dineen, Hallimen, and Ben Blaufuss placed 2nd in the diving relay. Then Wood, Fisher, Feng, and Wasickanin easily won the 400 yard medley relay in 3:53.86. Wood's 52.18 leg in the backstroke was a Spencerport pool record, erasing a mark from 20 years ago. It is also another #1 NY State time.

Beaudry, Woytash, Salehi, and Wasickanin finished 4th in the 400 freestyle relay. Next, the 200 backstroke relay resulted in the 3rd Red Raider victory. Woytash, Razavi, Koenig, and Harrington were the victorious quartet. In the next event, each swimmer swam a 100 yard individual medley, and Fisher, Razavi, Jacobs, and Koenig claimed the #2 spot. In the last event, Beaudry, Salehi, Morales, and Kaemmerlen placed 4th in the 200 freestyle relay. Fairport finished in 2nd place.
