He transferred to Missouri after two years at [Western Kentucky](https://www.themaneater.com/stories/2015/9/9/german-swimmers-start-settle-mizzou-after-wku-hazi/). His time set a new team record and was the fastest time ever recorded in Georgia Tech’s pool.

Junior Andrew Sansoucie started the evening off for the Tigers with a 14th-place showing in the 100-yard butterfly. His preliminary time of 45.86 was a new school record and earned him Honorable Mention All-America honors.

Schwingenschlogl was not the only Missouri breaststroker to excel. Sophomore Jordy Groters became an All-American with a 13th-place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke, earning the Tigers four points.

Clark Thomas carried Missouri’s momentum to the diving well. The senior placed fifth in the 3-meter competition, earning All-America honors.

The evening ended with the 200-yard medley relay. The Tigers team of senior Dillon Love (backstroke), Schwingenschlogl (breaststroke), Sansoucie (butterfly) and junior Michael Chadwick (freestyle) placed ninth with a school record time of 1:24.23.

The fourth and final day of competition begins at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
