HUNTINGTON - Freshman swimmer Liz Greenway's and senior diver Siobhan Schuurman's performances in Marshall's 185-79 win over Radford last weekend earned the duo Conference USA Swimmer of the Week and Diver of the Week honors as announced by the league Tuesday.
In her second collegiate meet, Greenway won the 100, 500, and 1000-yard freestyle events to help lead Marshall to a 185-79 victory over Radford. The Greer, S.C. native clocked times of in 55.65 in the 100, 5:17.49 in the 500 and 10:43.91 in the 1000-yard freestyle. In addition to her first place honors, Greenway helped the 200 freestyle relay team to a second place finish. This is Greenway's first weekly honor.
Schuurman won both the one-meter and three-meter events with scores of 248.18 in both events, respectively. The senior set a new collegiate-best in the three-meter event, bettering her previous mark of 246.45. Schuurman holds the school record in the one-meter and platform dives at Marshall and has swept every diving event of the season she has competed in. This is Schuurman's second career weekly C-USA diving honor and first of the season. Last year the Edmonton, Alberta, Canada native reached the NCAA Diving Zone Championships.
Both athletes will be in action at home this weekend as Marshall competes against Youngstown State Friday at 5 p.m. in the Frederick A. Fitch Natatorium.
