Casados, the former school record holder, finished seventh in 21.10 seconds while Randolph, who set the new Maverick record of 20.92 a fortnight ago, finished 11

Elaina Arcand and
Cami Costello also did the 200/400 double.
Arcand finished the 200 in 26.18 seconds and turned in an effort of 58.96 seconds in the 400 while Costello put down times of 26.51 and 59.61, both of which were quicker than her efforts two weeks ago at the New Mexico Team Open.
The Mavericks also had some strong distance running efforts in the 3,000 meters.
Lauren Hodges moved to the No. 7 spot of CMU history with a time of 10:32.09 while
Daisy Lalonde finished in 10:38.37.
