Shenandoah, Texas — Coast Guard Academy senior Christian Brindamour, the defending national champion in the 50-yard freestyle, placed seventh in the event Wednesday to earn the third swimming All-America honor of his career at the Conroe Natatorium.

Brindamour posted the third-fastest time, a school-record 19.94 seconds in the preliminaries, but his time of 20.25 was seventh in the finals.

He was one of three swimmers to break the 20-second mark in the morning preliminaries, the first three to do so this season. His best time this season prior to that was 20.19. The school-record, also belonging to Brindamour, was 20.06, set at the NCAA Championships last season.

He earned All-America status in the 50 and 100 freestyles last season.

Brindamour will compete in the 100 backstroke Friday and the 100 freestyle Saturday to close out his career.
