INDIANAPOLIS – The Marshall University Swimming and Diving team holds nearly a 30-point at the conclusion of day one at the House of Champions in Indianapolis.
"Really proud of how our team competed today," Herd Swimming and Diving Head Coach Ian Walsh said. "We did a great job of getting the job done in the morning and getting ourselves several A/B/C Final swims."
The Herd picked up three victories on the day with Grace Kelsheimer taking 1m Diving (278.05), Kseniia Luniushina winning the 50 Freestyle (22.82) and Luniushina, Madeline Hart, Parker Lynch, Audrey West (1:32.07) taking the 200 Freestyle Relay.
The team's 200 Free Relay Performance marked the fourth-fastest time in program history with Luniushina's prelim time of 22.72 in the 50 Free ranking second all-time and Hart's time of 23.04 ranking fourth in the event.
"We had a lot of gutsy performances tonight," Walsh commented. "Our 200 Free Relay (Luniushina, Hart, Lynch, West) is now fourth all-time in program history. We had several lifetime best performances. Kseniia's 50 Free (22.72) stands second all-time and Madeline's 50 Free (23.04) is tied for fourth all-time. Nina also had a lifetime best performance in the 50 Free (23.80). Grace had a consistent scoring through preliminaries and ended up winning the 1m Final by over 30 points. Our 400 Medley Relay is now third all-time in program history with Kseniia, Paige, Madeline and Audrey."
Marshall also recorded the third fastest time in program history in the 400 Medley Relay at 3:41.46 by Luniushina, Paige Banton, Hart and West.
Molly Warner recorded a third-place finish in the 200 Individual Medley (2:03.25) with Luniushina also taking in the 50 Backstroke (25.13).
"It takes an entire scoring roster to win at the end of the year and it's been great to see our team embracing the spirit of competition here. We look forward to another great session of competition."
