That isn’t to say, however, that Pulfer is an exception among the waterworldly Herd.
Pulfer, of Ottawa, Ontario, just returned to the MU campus this week from the Canadian Olympic Trials in Toronto, where she competed in the 400- and 800-meter freestyle events and the 200 backstroke. It was her second Canadian Trials in the 200 back, the first coming when she was 15.
It’s just another accomplishment for a Herd program finishing its fourth year under Coach Bill Tramel, whose team has been wrecking records in the last two seasons.
Marshall competes in 22 swimming and diving events in the NCAA Division I and Conference USA seasons.
