TOLEDO, Ohio – The Marshall University Swimming and Diving team (4-1) picked up a road victory on Friday evening over the Toledo Rockets, 187-113, in the team's first dual of 2025.
"The staff was happy with how we competed today," Herd Swimming and Diving Head Coach Ian Walsh said. "It was a tough turnaround with travel, and I thought the team handed it well. We had some people compete in different events, so it was good to see some different event lists for a few of them."
The Herd had three student athletes win a pair of individual events with Paige Banton taking the 100 and 200 Breaststroke, Molly Warner coming out on top in the 200 Freestyle and 400 Individual Medley and Grace Kelsheimer sweeping 1m and 3m Diving.
"Paige (Banton) and Molly (Warner) both had two individual wins tonight. Molly's 200 Free and 400 IM were in-season bests for her," Walsh commented.
Marshall also picked up wins in the 200 Medley Relay with the team of Kseniia Luniushina, Paige Banton, Madeline Hart, Parker Lynch and in the 200 Freestyle Relay with the combination of Madeline Hart, Audrey West, Parker Lynch, Kseniia Luniushina.
Individually, Lauren McNamara won the 200 Butterfly, Hart took the 50 Freestyle and Luniushina captured first in the Backstroke.
"Collectively we had a good showing, but we have an opportunity to clean several things up leading into tomorrow morning," Walsh said about preparing for tomorrow's meet at Bowling Green.
