COLUMBIA, Mo. – Four current and former members of the Mizzou swimming and diving team are set to compete for their respective countries at the World University, which run July 2-14 in Gwangju City, South Korea. Diver Lauren Reedy (Rochester Hills, Mich.) will represent the United States, Nadine Laemmler (Wackersdorf, Bavaria, Germany) and Fabian Schwingenschlogl (Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany) will compete for Germany and recent senior Igor Kozlovskij (Klaipeda, Lithuania) will swim for Lithuania.

Additionally, Mizzou Head Diving Coach Jamie Sweeney will be a coach for USA Diving’s 11-member team.

All events competed by Mizzou student-athletes will be broadcast live on ESPN3. Reedy will compete on 1-meter and mixed synchronized 3-meter. She earned honorable mention All-America honors as a junior in 2015, placing ninth on 3-meter at the NCAA Championships in March.

Reedy holds Missouri’s 1-meter diving record, breaking her old school mark with a 355.80 in the consolation final at NCAAs. She also ranks second all-time at Mizzou on 3-meter (363.00).

Kozlovskij, who competed for Mizzou from 2012-15, will swim the 100 breast, 200 breast and 200 IM at the Games. He concluded his Tiger career as a four-time honorable mention All-American, including finishes of 11th in the 200 breast and 13th in the 100 breast at the 2013 NCAA Championships. Additionally, Kozlovskij earned a spot on the 2013 All-SEC first team after a runner-up finish in the 100 breast at the SEC Championships.

Recent Western Kentucky transfers Schwingenschlogl and Laemmler will swim the 100 and 200 breast and 100 and 200 back, respectively, in South Korea. Schwingenschlogl was a two-time first team All-American at Western Kentucky, earning NCAA finishes of sixth and eighth in the 100 breast the past two seasons. Laemmler qualified for her first NCAA Championships in 2015 and was the 2014 Conference USA Newcomer of the Year.
