The Marquette track team enjoyed a rarely-seen dual meet with Wisconsin-Milwaukee last Friday. The men defeated their cross-town rivals handily, 99-89, while the women were also victorious, 104-83.

The Golden Eagles won 18 events on the day and also set a couple new Big East-qualifying marks.

Sophomore Tyler O'Brien was named the "Fastest Man in Milwaukee" after winning the 100-meter dash. His 10.89-second time was just enough to beat his competitior.

Senior Jessica Ehlen captured an NCAA Regional mark after her 56.22-meter toss in the hammer throw. She was also the winner of the discus.

Competing in the event for the very first time, sophomore Jonathan Kusowski won the javelin throw by almost seven meters. The effort also placed his name among Marquette's all-time performances.

The squad heads back to action this Friday in Arkansas for the John McDonnell Invitational. The site will also host the NCAA Outdoor Championships at the end of the season.
