Quotes from Marshall head coach Ian Walsh
"A great final session tonight, top to bottom. We had so many season bests, lifetime bests and all-time Top 10 performances. Our divers had an incredible day, notching the second, fourth and 10th all-time Top 10 performances in program history. All four had lifetime best performances. They were pivotal in the team race we are in after Day 2.
"Raeleigh Mooij continued to find ways to get her hand on the wall, swimming her two fastest 50 Free performances in her A Final and the relay. Our 50s were pretty sharp tonight. Gina had a great 500 swim and raced it really well for her lifetime best along with the rest of our D-Crew. Our 200 IMers made some crucial point swings, moving up or holding their positions. We ended the night with another bronze medal relay performance with Rae, Klava, Or and Regan.
"Our staff is really proud of the fight we saw out there tonight. Tomorrow morning will allow us to carry this momentum we built into an exciting Day 3 session."
Friday's morning session will get underway at 10:30 p.m. with preliminary action in the 400 IM, 100 Butterfly, 200 Free, 100 Breast and 100 Back. The 1-meter diving prelims will begin at noon.
The Finals of those events will commence at 6:30 p.m., along with the 400 Medley Relay.
