Marshall Head Coach Ian Walsh
"I'm really proud of this group this weekend. We came in with the goal of dialing in on attention to detail. We took a step in the right direction and grew as a team in a lot of areas.
"Paige Banton had a fantastic meet and capped off her weekend with a win in the 200 Breast, while hitting the NCAA "B" provisional standard. Madeline Hart put together another stellar session, while winning the 200 Fly. So many others played a big part in the showing we had this weekend.
"There are some things we can reflect on and make sure we address those as we lead into our next training block."
