“My best time before that was 1:55.3 so I’m really happy with that,” said Schuehler. “I felt good all around. The kid next to me was a flyer, I didn’t realize it until after, but he took me out fast. In the backstroke I held on and the breast is my best stroke so I really went after it. I’m really pleased.”
Schuehler went 58.21 to take third in the breaststroke, a race that saw another meet record fall.

“My first lap wasn’t that strong so I was playing catchup the rest of the race,” he said. “I’m happy with the way it turned out. I’m right about where I want to be.”
