@MidwestMadDog He would probably only average about 14-16 points a game if he were playing in the NBA today. However he is 62 years old.

Our All-League lads!

Didden finished ninth, and Pratt-Perez replicated his 14th-place finish from 2024!

Our All-League ladies powered the Bison to second place - the highest finish since 2019! Disdainful of the blustery weather, the quartet delivered silver! McNally placed second, Granger earned sixth, Moncavage grabbed tenth, and Rippey notched 13th.

McNally won the Lehigh Open, running a career-best 21:06.3, beating athletes from the 2024 national runner-up West Virginia!

She is the first Bison to win Women's Runner of the Week since teammate Caryn Rippey on Sept. 10, 2021.
