Herd Swimming and Diving Drops Dual Meet at FIU
12/17/2021 9:55:00 PM | Women's Swimming and Diving
Herd had four first-place finishes
MIAMI – The Marshall University swimming and diving team fell 178-122 in a dual meet at FIU on Friday.
The Thundering Herd captured four individual first-place finishes on the day with Eszter Laban taking the 1000 Freestyle and 200 Butterfly, Klava Katayama winning the 50 Freestyle and Federica Savoia taking the 500 Freestyle.
"We had a strong showing against a really strong FIU program," Marshall swimming and diving head coach Ian Walsh said after the meet. "Competing during a training camp is always a challenge and I thought we had several women step up today. Eszter (Laban), Federica (Savoia) and Klava (Katayama) walked away with first place showings. Paige (Banton), Madeline (Hart) and Leigh (Lopez-Silvers) were right up against their season bests."
"We're in a good spot and look forward to the next few days of training into the holiday break."
Alaina Laster finished second in the Women's 3 meter Diving with a score of 240.30 (4 points) and Kailee Payne finished second in the Women's 1 meter Diving with a score of 241.43 (4 points).
