Toledo, OH - The University of Toledo women's swimming and diving program has signed four recruits to national letters of intent for the 2013-14 season, first-year Head Coach Chris Peters announced today.

The signees are the first under the Peters regime, and include: Rachael Hester (West Harrison, IN - Mother of Mercy), Bailey Marshal (Versailles, OH - Versailles High School), Stephanie O'Toole (Butler, PA - Butler High School) and Jamie Skowronek (Carmel, IN - Carmel, High School).

"We are ecstatic with the four young ladies we signed this fall," Peters said. "They've got ability and work ethic, both in the pool and in the classroom.
