“Performances today were affected by considerable wind," said head coach
Bernie Empie. "The women showed a little more pop this weekend and racing two weekends in a row really proved positive for them. I am excited to see how the squad looks next weekend at Lock Haven. Each race we look a little sharper.”
Bloomsburg takes part in the Lock Haven River Run next Saturday at 11 a.m.
