TRAMEL TALK
Marshall Coach Bill Tramel on WKU Meet:
"Saturday will be a celebration. Five seniors will compete for their last time at Marshall University's Fitch Natatorium. These first class women have embraced our team philosophy and are a major reason we are enjoying the success we have attained this season. While they will be missed in the pool, they will always be part of our MUSD family."
"In addition to honoring our senior class, this will be our last opportunity to race before CUSA championships. We want to focus on our execution and building confidence moving into our championship season."
