Marshall sets three top six times in school history
LYNCHBURG, Va. – Marshall swimming and diving completed the first of three days of action at the TYR '85 Invite hosted by Liberty on Friday.
"We were really pleased with our performances today," Marshall head coach Ian Walsh said. "We had a strong morning and there were a lot of adjustments made that we saw come together in the finals. Our 200 Free Relay team set the tone tonight with a first place showing. Catherine Bendziewicz and Darby Coles followed them up with second and third place finishes in the 200 IM and 50 Freestyle respectively. Madison Young and Lauren Henderson both made it to the finals in the 3 Meter Dive. Madison placed second and Lauren placed sixth. There were a lot of improvements made and it sets both of them up well for tomorrow's 1 Meter Dive. Then Heather Sigmon led off our B relay with a blistering 54.52 to qualify her for the US Open in two weeks in Atlanta. We're excited for another great session tomorrow morning."
The 200 Free Relay team's time is the sixth fastest time in school history.
Sigmon's 100 Backstroke lap in the 4x100 Medley Relay was the second fastest time in program history, while the A team's time was the second fastest time as a group in program history in the same event.
