HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - The Marshall Thundering Herd swimming and diving team had three individual winners on Saturday, wrapping up its first meet in more than a month in Bowling Green, Ohio. The Herd defeated Toledo 168-132, but lost again to host Bowling Green 171-129.
MEET HIGHLIGHTS
Freshman Madi Pulfer (Ottowa, Ontario), continued her strong event with wins in the 500 (5:04.54) and 1000 freestyle (10:21.57). Pulfer won her first event (the 500 freestyle) in Friday's races.
In diving, sophomore Megan Wolons (Williamsburg, Va.) followed up a career high in three meter diving, with her first collegiate diving win in the one meter dive with a score of 229.20.
TRAMEL TALK
Head Coach Bill Tramel on Friday Meet:
"We had some fight today, competing when we were tired."
"I'm especially pleased with our divers. They really stepped it up this weekend. Megan Wolons won her first collegiate event. That's awesome."
"As good as many of us were, we still didn't have everyone on board. When you compete in Division I; when you represent Marshall University, you must do so proudly, without giving in to discomfort. When we finally get to that point where everyone is pulling together, that is the time when we will become the team we have the potential to be."
