“The inaugural Husky Open was a success on many fronts,” said women’s track coach Bernie Empie. “It brought track and field back to center stage at Bloomsburg University, produced many outstanding performances (season PR's and lifetime bests), and set the stage for many successful future track and field meets to be hosted at Redman Stadium.” The Husky Open marks the first outdoor track and field meet at Bloomsburg since 1990.
The Huskies return to the track next weekend at the All-American Invitational at East Stroudsburg University.
