TRAMEL TALK
Marshall coach Bill Tramel on the meet:
"We ran into a talented team tonight. We knew we would have to be sharp and some of us were great. Our distance corps were fantastic. We had some really good swims from Caroline (Wanner) and Emma (Lockyer). However, we were not as good at finishing our races with a sense of urgency. Our underwaters continue to be a major weakness. These competitions teach us what we need to work on. Some things we can correct right away, like finishing through the wall. Other things will take more time. We continue to need improvement on our core strength and our overall strength. That can only be done in the weight room over time."
"There were some very bright spots that we feel really good about. Our race strategy is coming along and some are executing it perfectly. We have great endurance. Just great endurance and run people down at the end. That should give us confidence that we are working hard in practice. Next week is Nike Cup and our major focus for fall semester. We'll get some rest headed in, and that should get us excited."
