In the next event, Connor Foote touched the wall in 44.87 in the 100 fly consolation final, placing 11th to pick up Honorable Mention All-America accolades.
Victor Povzner locked up the last spot on the 3-meter to advance to finals and went on to place sixth with a score of 404.50 to close out his collegiate career as a seven-time All-American.
A&M picked up its third Honorable Mention All-America accolades of the week on a relay as Tyler Hulet, Alex Sanchez, Foote and Ben Scholl clocked in at 3:04.68 to finish 14th.
