Donner's Debriefing
"This is a very early outdoor meet for us. However, the spring season can be a short one for those who do not compete in the postseason championship meets and we want to give everyone opportunities to compete. Although, we are holding some people out by design, it is still a scored meet with some local rivals and the team we are taking will be trying to win the meet."
Last Time Out (Patriot League Indoor Championships & IC4A Championships)
The Bison head to the Lafayette Invitational on March 29.Â
