St. Cloud State Swim Captain Marena Kouba Saves Family of Three from Drowning Marena Kouba sensed something wasn’t right Sunday. Kouba, a captain of the swimming team at St. Cloud State in Minnesota, and her boyfriend Dayton Nash spent the day in Michigan at Lake Superior. While swimming across a thin portion of the lake to reach Little Presque Island, they noticed a man and two kids swimming in the lake and appearing to get into trouble in the current near. “Prior to going out there, we had seen this uncle and the two kids (10-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy),” Nash told the St. Cloud Times Thursday. “We kept an eye on them and slowly saw them get farther and farther out. I kept an eye on them because something didn’t feel right.” |
