Season Outlook:
The Huskies are excited for the 2019-2020 season after getting another Del Gallo on the podium last season and returning 7 starters from the region championships. With a balanced line-up they should be a tough dual meet team. They have a good mix or veterans and new comers who will be looking to get to Cedar Rapids in March and represent the Huskies at the NCAA Championships.
