FINAL RESULTS
LYNCHBURG, Va. – A quartet of Marshall swimmers gave the Thundering Herd its third relay bronze medal in as many days as the team now finds itself in third place at the 2022 Conference USA Swimming and Diving Championships.
The meet is being held at the Liberty Natatorium in Lynchburg.
Marshall currently has 389 points. FIU leads the way with 733, followed by Rice (650), Florida Atlantic in fourth (380), North Texas fifth (372) and Old Dominion sixth (252).
The Herd's Or Tamir, Paige Banton, Nicole Rueff and Gabrielle Ivey finished the race in 3:43.68.
Ivey just missed the medal stand in the 200 Free as well, coming in fourth with a time of 1:49.67.
Kailee Payne was Marshall's top diver, netting a fourth-place finish in the 1-meter diving competition with a school-record score of 280.70.
Banton recorded a fifth-place finish in the 100 Breast with a time of 1:03.07.
Madeline Hart made the A final in the 100 Butterfly and took ninth in 55.90 seconds.
Tamir placed 10th in the 100 Back in 55.37 seconds.
Naomee Miller finished 17th in the 400 IM with a 4:36.01.
The final day of competition will be Saturday at 10:30 a.m. with preliminary action in the 200 Back, 100 Free, 200 Breast and 200 Fly. The platform diving prelims will be held at noon and the 1650 Free prelim will be at 3 p.m.
The finals for all of those events will begin at 6 p.m., culminating with the 400 Free Relay. That action can be viewed on CUSA.tv here: https://conferenceusa.com/watch/default.aspx?Live=15730&path=conf.
Quotes from Marshall head coach Ian Walsh:
"What a night for this team! Our divers continued to take their performances to the next level. We had one school record and four all-time Top 10 performances. Kailee Payne absolutely obliterated the school record. Alaina (Laster), Grace (Valenza) and Joelle (Williams) all had lifetime best performances and are now seventh, ninth and 10th all-time in program history.
"From the first event, our swimmers just took each race and built this momentum as we moved through the session. We had six all-time Top 10 performances, one relay and five individual swims. Our 400 Medley had a great performance, getting another bronze medal. Gabby Ivey had a gritty 200 Freestyle, placing fourth and getting another lifetime best swim. Madeline Hart had a brutal event list today and found a way to get in the A final after winning a swim off.
"I am so proud of these 26 women and I can't wait to see how we finish this meet tomorrow."
