"The conditions were not great for fast times," said head coach Dylan Zitzer. "I thought we were very competitive and focused. It was great to see the times we put up and I can't wait to get back to Whitworth to improve our results from this week," added Zitzer. 

The Bulldogs will be right back in Spokane at the Whitworth Twilight this coming weekend.
