Two Marshall Swimmers Receive Week Awards

Two members of the Marshall swim team received Missouri Valley Conference awards for their performances in a dual meet last weekend.

Paige Banton and Mia McBride received honors on Jan. 25 after a team victory against Duquesne.

After winning seven events during the meet, Banton was named MVC Swimmer of the Week. She placed first as a member of the 400 Medley Relay and also broke the record time with her team, clocking in a 1:01.69 time. She finished first in the 100 Individual Medley (57.36), which places her second in the MVC for that event. She put up another record-breaking time in the 50 Breastroke with a personal record that also put her in second place in the MVC.
