Meet Recap:

MOORHEAD, Minn. (2/6/10)-- Concordia used their overall team depth to go undefeated at the annual Cobber Duals Meet and win the team title for the first time since 2006. The Cobbers went 6-0 on the day and, in the process, beat teams from NCAA DI, DII and NAIA schools.

A pair of Cobber sophomores posted the best individual results of the day. Tessa Comstock recorded a height of 10-0.00 in the pole vault and finished sixth in the event. That height ties a personal best for Comstock and is the fifth best in program history.
