Donner Debriefing
"We are very excited to compete at the Penn Classic on Saturday. It is a brand new facility and I have only heard great things about it. The meet itself is a medium-sized meet with some quality schools from the Big East, Ivy League, and MEAC along with Army. February is usually when our athletes start to round into form, so we expect the performances to improve greatly which will set ourselves up for the league championships in three weeks."
Last Time Out (Bison Open & Penn State National Open)
Bucknell heads to Liberty University's Darius Dixon Memorial (Feb. 14-15).Â
