NIAGARA UNIV., N.Y. – Niagara University cross country head coach
Christine Kloiber announced that Cleveland Hill High School senior Andrew Bloom has signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) to join the Purple Eagles for the 2019 season. Bloom is the first addition to the men's squad announced this year.
"We're very enthused to announce Andrew as our first incoming recruit for the men's 2019-20 class," Kloiber said. "We feel NU is a great fit for Andrew as he defines the type of student-athletes we recruit. He's brings passion and commitment to succeed for both his athletic and academic goals. He also knows what he wants to do and is prepared to challenge himself as needed to meet those goals. As a runner with some untapped potential, it will be a great journey to watch him develop his abilities."
