Tuttle was instrumental in helping the Saxons go 2-1 on the week and 2-0 in Empire 8 action, ending the conference dual-meet slate with a perfect, 3-0 record. The one loss on the week was to Division II Le Moyne, in which the Saxons nearly fell in a Tuesday home meet. Tuttle competed in three events on a road trip to Utica University and posted top times in all three. His 200-yard medley relay team was exhibitioned after posting a top time of 1:46.00 before he won the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:09.72 and the 200-free relay with a time of 1:38.11. Tuttle tacked on another two wins, a second place and a fifth place finish, scoring in all four events to help AU beat Hartwick for the first time since 2015 and the first time sweeping E8 opponents since the 2008-09 season. He won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 55.95, helping the Saxons take all three top spots. Tuttle was part of the same trio that went 1-2-3 in the 200-yard backstroke as he finished second with a time of 2:07.46. He took one point when he clocked 23.74 in the 50-free for fifth place. Tuttle closed his week when he teamed up in the 200-yard freestyle relay, needing a win to secure the Empire 8 sweep. He was joined by Will LaMastus, Nathan Sponenberg and Colby Watkins, swimming a third leg time of 22.37 to set Watkins up for the come-from-behind win with a total time of 1:29.51.
