Bish was 15th at the 2017 NCAA Championships in the 100 breaststroke with a 52.51. Bish&#8217;s best times (52.13) and (1:56.23) would have won the Mid-American Conference Championship titles ahead of\u00a0the 53.61 and 1:57.05 that won the titles this past year.<\/p>\n<p>Bish joins a stacked breaststroke group at Missouri State that has All-American sophomore\u00a0<strong>Artur Osvath<\/strong> as the headliner. Osvath was 15th (1:53.87) and 39th (53.32) in the breaststroke events at NCAA&#8217;s. Osvath qualified for NCAA&#8217;s in his first two years at Missouri State. The Bears also finished 1st and 3rd in the 200 breast at the MAC Championships with <strong>Phillip Willett<\/strong> (1:57.07) and <strong>Chris Heye<\/strong> (1:57.84). The ladder two competed at the 2016 Olympic Trials in the event.<\/p>\n<p>Bish also will provide some good relay depth for the Bears as he went 20.40 at the Pac-12 Championships in the 50 free, where he would have finished fourth in the MAC. He also split a 23.01 in the 50 breast on Arizona&#8217;s 200 medley relay at Pac-12&#8217;s, which was a second faster than any swimmer in the MAC in the same relay.<\/p>\n<p>Bish joins former club teammates Chris, <strong>Thomas Heye<\/strong> and <strong>Minki Kang<\/strong> who swam with him at Arkansas Dolphin Swim Team in Little Rock. Bish&#8217;s decision to transfer out of Arizona comes a few days after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/taylor-garcia-announces-transfer-to-michigan\/\"><strong>Taylor Garcia<\/strong> announced she would transfer\u00a0out of Arizona<\/a> and join her home-state Michigan Wolverines. Arizona head coach <strong>Rick Demont<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/arizona-head-coach-rick-demont-announces-retirement\/\">announced last week that he was retiring from coaching<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Missouri State finished second at the MAC Championships this year by one point to conference powerhouse Eastern Michigan. The Bears also sent two swimmers to the NCAA&#8217;s this year with Osvath and Arkansas native freshman <strong>Antonio Thomas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arizona All-American Breaststroker Blair Bish announced he would transfer to Missouri State for his remaining two years of eligibility.
