Bulldog Update
The indoor season comes to a close this weekend, as Fresno State prepares for the 2006 WAC Indoor Championships in Boise, Idaho. Fresno State will have to shake off some rust, having not participated in an indoor event since the Bill Cosby Open back on Feb. 4. The Bulldogs did not compete in a scheduled meet last weekened in Reno due to weather conditions and participated outdoors at the Lee Adams Invitational the previous week.
