Bloomsburg head coach
Bernie Empie was pleased with his team's effort
“I am happy with the progress we have made over the past two weeks,” said Empie. “ Both teams have been working very hard and focusing on the the big meets at the end of the season. I think most of our team was running on tired legs today. Taking that into consideration, we are performing at the level I would expect.”
The Huskies are back in action on Saturday Oct 9 when the Huskies host their Huskie Invitational.
