Tatyana Pashibin Class: Freshman Hometown: Minneapolis, Minn. High School: Southwest Position: Jumps Experience: FR/FR

Assistant Coach Nick Davis on Pashibin:
"`Tate' is likely one of the most decorated jumpers to join Marquette's women's track and field team. Her talent level is very high and she still has a lot of room for development, especially in the horizontal jumps. Her PR of 5'8" in the high jump puts her very close to other jumpers at the national level as well. She is a proven big meet performer and I have no doubt that she will develop into a strong BIG EAST contender."
