"There was some very good competition here today which included multiple nationally ranked marks," Omaha head coach Chris Richardson said. "A person can either be intimidated by this, or step up. I think we did a pretty good job of stepping up. When I read off the lifetime bests at our post meet meeting, it was a long list. That's exactly what we want through out the rest season"

The Mavericks head North to Minnesota next weekend to compete in the Jack Johnson Invitational at the University of Minnesota.
