Herd Coach Bill Tramel on Meet:
"This has been a fantastic meet for us. We are really thrilled with our divers. All 5 scored tonight. Marshall is now getting people on the awards stands. Just looking at the stats, we have now broken 9 of the 12 events competed thus far. I looked up last year's C-USA results and saw we scored a total of 328 points for the whole meet. We already have scored 330 and have an entire day of the meet left. This has been such a fun time. I'm very proud of our women."
