Laban turns in a top-10 program performance
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Marshall University swimming and diving team closed out day one at the Purdue Invite on Wednesday in West Lafayette, Indiana.
"This group had a strong first day, knowing this is one of our weaker sessions with our event lists," Herd head coach Ian Wash said. "They walked away with 33 season-best performances, nine lifetime-best performances and one new top 10 all-time performance."
"Eszter had a phenomenal day, setting the tone in the morning for her 500 Freestyle and put together a really gutsy swim tonight. She now sits third all-time in program history and leads the Missouri Valley Conference in the event."
"The team is really excited about tomorrow and the opportunities that lie ahead. We always get better as this meet format progresses. The staff is looking forward to some great energy tomorrow morning and well executed races."
