Donner's Debriefing
"I believe this is a perfect meet to open the new year at. With teams like Penn State, Pitt, Maryland, Syracuse, and Army, the quality is every event will be high and a great gauge for our top level athletes. It is a great facility and close to home. It will be good to bust some rust and see how our team responds."
