From the Locker Room
“I am really proud of the effort this week. Tough day for Z [Zaresha], but a good opportunity to grow. We’ve sent at least one Bowling Green athlete to the NCAA Outdoor Championships every year since I’ve been here with exception of my first. Very proud to have the Orange & Brown representing at the highest level again,” said Lou Snelling, BGSU head track & field coach
