Koenigsperger told Swimming World,

I’m very excited to become part of the Trojan family. USC has an incredible swimming and diving program with world class coaches and swimmers both in the college group and in the pro group. It’s also one of the world’s leading academic universities. I look forward to spending my next few years in LA! #FightOn
