Noel Powell piled up championship points for the Bison men’s track and field team as a record-setting jumper and sprinter. Powell won six Patriot League gold medals, four outdoors and two indoors, and was a four-time All-East honoree and a three-time NCAA Regionals qualifier. Powell dominated the 2002 Patriot League Outdoor Championships, winning the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash, the long jump, and the 4x100-meter relay en route to Track Athlete of the Meet honors.

A native of Tamaqua, Pa., Powell won the long jump and 100-meter dash again in 2003, and he also won back-to-back Patriot League indoor long jump titles. Powell set long-standing Bucknell records in the 100-meter dash (10.52) and indoor (25-0) and outdoor (24-10 ½) long jumps, and he also graduated with the school record in the 200-meter dash and 4x100 relay. Powell earned the Christy Mathewson Award as the top athlete in the Class of 2004.
