LAWRENCE, KS  --  Missouri S&T narrowly fell 193-154 against South Dakota while competing at the University of Kansas this weekend. The team took home 8 golds, with Connor Bichsel (Lee's Summit, MO/Lee's Summit West) accounting for half of them.

Bichsel's first place finish in the 200 yard breast was good enough to earn him a Division II B-Cut Time, opening the door to a potential invitation to the national meet. Adam Wiedemeier (West Monroe, LA/West Monroe) and Jordan Christensen (Coralville, IA/Iowa West) were S&T's other individual medalists, with Wiedemeier taking two. The relay team of Christensen, Wiedemeier, Oscar Iden (Oslo, Norway/Oslo Private Gymnasium), and Oskar Fridsell (Solna, Sweden/Solna Gymnasium) also picked up gold, touching first in the 200 yard medley relay.
