Of Bango's 21 conference championships, 15 came while running the grueling distance of 800 meters. She won four straight league titles in the indoor 800 meters and went 3-for-4 in the outdoor 800. In addition she was a part of 4x800-meter relay teams that captured every league race, indoors and outdoors, in her career.
Bango also won a championship in the indoor 400 meters, as well as three more in the indoor 4x400 relay and one each in the distance medley relay and the outdoor 4x400.
While at Bucknell, Bango broke the six-year-old indoor record in the 800 meters by more than four seconds with a time of 2:09.08. Her best outdoor 800 time of 2:09.33 was also a school record. Bango also put her name at the top of the Bucknell record board in five different relays.
A six-time All-East performer, Bango was named to the Patriot League All-Decade Team and was the recipient of the Christy Mathewson Award as the top Bison athlete in her class. The Smethport, N.Y., native was also an academic all-district honoree.
