He placed third in floor, fifth in horizontal bar, seventh in pommel horse, and eighth in still rings and parallel bars.

Bischoff competed in the junior division at 2020 Winter Cup Challenge and led team to a third-place finish at the 2020 Elite Team Cup in Las Vegas, NV.

Bischoff managed a 13.850 on floor and 13.250 on pommel horse at the Pac-12 Invite, and registered a 14.450 on parallel bars at California as his career best,[7] contributing once again to his team's recognition as 2022 NCAA and MPSF Team Champions.

Bischoff won his lone event title on the horizontal bar at the Cal Benefit Cup with a 14.000 and performed a season-best 14.400 on parallel bars at Rocky Mountain Open. He then finished the season ranked seventh in the nation on parallel bars (14.100) and 25th on floor (13.638), again leading Stanford to defend their national title as 2023 NCAA and MPSF champions.[3]

In March, Bischoff represented the United States at the DTB Pokal Mixed Cup in Stuttgart, Germany, alongside Senior Men Landon Blixt and Isaiah Drake, leading his team to a fourth-place finish.[9]
