Donner's Debriefing
"We are excited to get back on the horse to compete. We had some bad luck with health issues at Patriot Leagues and we want to end the season on a high note and be one of the top 8-10 teams at the regional meet. The 10k distance has traditionally helped us and we like the course. It is true cross country with the last 2k being a grind."
Overview
Any qualifying runners will head to the NCAA National Championships in Madison, Wisconsin; otherwise the Bison are done until the 2025 season.Â
