HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Collegeswimming.com has named Marshall University's swimming and diving team as its 16th most improved women's team in 2015 in a recent article.
The article ranks the top 25 most improved teams from January 2014 to this year. The basis for the rankings, according to the site, is the current College Swimming rankings, the change in ranking from the previous season and the site's power point score change from last year.
Herd coach Bill Tramel said he was pleased with the recognition.
"This is certainly quite an honor for our team and staff," Tramel said. "It validates the hard work our staff has done in recruiting and coaching. This ranking is quantitative based on the improvement from last year's times to this year's times. It's a truer evaluation."
Tramel also said the recognition was thanks to the hard work from the team.
"However, the biggest honor goes to our team," Tramel said. "It really spotlights the hard work the athletes themselves have done. I know they are proud to represent Marshall University.
The No. 1 improved team was the University of Virginia. Marshall was joined by two other Conference USA schools, Western Kentucky and Florida Atlantic.
Marshall will be back in action this Saturday away against Duquesne.
