On night 3 of the Mid-American men’s swimming championship, Missouri and Miami are the two contenders for the team title. Last night, Missouri swept many events to score big points for the race.

Contested events include the following: 200 Freestyle, 100 Backstroke, 100 Breaststroke, 100 Butterfly, 400 IM and 400 Medley relay
