PEORIA, Ill. - Three Mavericks land on the all-time list, while two set personal bests at the Bradley Pink Classic Friday afternoon. It mark the final meet before Omaha heads to conference.
"We were down a couple runners today due to a couple injuries that popped up over the this past week," said head coach
Cliff Cisar. "With conference right around the corner, we knew it'd be best to rest them for the last regular season meet in order to be as close to 100 percent as we can be heading into conference.
"When injuries happen, it's about who can step in and fill the roles that are open. Our group did a great job stepping up, and it started with Emily and Dani. Both running lifetime bests and moving up our All-Time 6k List."
Maya Nachtigal led the Mavericks placing 100th with a time of 22:34.0. It marked the 13th best time on the all-time list. Nachtigal has led Omaha in every race this season.
"From the beginning Maya set herself up for a great race. The field was extremely large and very talented, so her main objective was to get out early, settle in to her rhythm, and compete as the race went on. She ran wonderfully today."
Emily Robles was Omaha's next finisher placing 216th. She ran a time of 23:37.1, which ranks 26th all-time.
Danielle Howard also landed on the all-time list. Her 221st place finish with a time of 23:43.7 ranks 28th all-time and marked a personal best.
Madeline Yardley's time of 24:17.5 was the final personal record of the day.
"We are happy to have made some improvements over the course of the last two weeks, but our group knows there is more in the tank."
Omaha is back in action Saturday, Oct. 30 at the Summit League Championships in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
