BLOOMSBURG, Pa. - Head coach Bernie Empie of the Bloomsburg University men's and women's cross country and track & field programs is excited to announce that 25 student-athletes on the women's side will be joining the Husky pack this fall. The number is part of the largest-ever recruiting class as a total of 42 student-athletes (25 women, 17 men) will bring depth to both cross country and track & field programs.

"I am extremely excited by the class we have attracted," remarked Empie. "We added some depth in just about every event group area. It is the largest incoming class we have ever recruited, and I have to give much of the credit to my assistant coaches who played a significant role in those efforts. We have some young men and women that will be able to contribute to the team success right away, and others that will develop over time. I am eager to start working with this fine group!"
 
Assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Kristin Stam added, "With an aim of achieving balance and depth within our roster, we are very excited that each discipline within our sport is represented in this talented incoming class. We are eager to begin working with these young athletes and are humbled by the continued growth our program has been able to foster."
