This was the Rams' final full squad tune-up before the Atlantic 10 Championships on May 3 and 4 in Amherst, Mass.
Before the A-10, however, the Rams will first compete in the Penn Relays, held in Philadelphia Friday and Saturday morning.
"It's a very large meet with thousands of entries and the meet itself draws a crowd of about 35,000 to 38,000 people per day, but basically we're just looking for individual performances to qualify for later events," Copeland said.
After returning from the trip, the focus of Copeland's team will then shift completely to preparing for the A-10.
"You have to recover from one and go on to the next," Copeland said. "You try to keep your focus on the championship meets, and we're training basically all year long trying not to lose focus."
Copeland believes that as long as the team maintains its focus and polishes up next week, they should be in a position to succeed next weekend.
"We just need to make sure the workouts that we're doing are what the kids need, if the kids have a technical deficiency we need to make that correction," Copeland said.
"We can't go into that meet [A-10] with technical deficiencies, but conditioning-wise we're right where we need to be."
