Marshall Head Coach Ian Walsh:
"As a coaching staff we're incredibly proud of what we were able to accomplish this weekend. The resiliency they showed moving through each session was inspiring."

"We kicked off the session with our milers and they did an incredible job. Angelica Di Marzio finished her senior year with the highest career placing in the mile (7th). Our backstrokers did a phenomenal job. Or Tamir and Heather Sigmon placed 1-2 in the consolation final and Jordyn placing second overall for her 2nd individual medal. Darby Coles got her hand on the wall in a tough 100 Free final for a 3rd place finish and new school record. Nicole Rueff had a great race and now sits second all-time in the 200 Butterfly with her performance tonight. Madison Young placed 11th on the platform with the program's second-best all-time performance in the consolation final. She is headed to NCAA Zone Championships next week with Lauren Henderson."

"Our seniors have been instrumental in bringing this team together and have been so poised throughout the season. Taylor, Megan and I couldn't be more proud of this team. We have two more post season events over the next two weeks and we're looking forward to representing this athletic department and university at the highest level."
