LEWISBURG, Pa. - While some of the squad members were at the Penn State National Invite in University Park, Pa., other members of the Bucknell track and field team stayed behind on the home front and competed in the Bison Open, in Gerhard Fieldhouse, in Lewisburg, Pa.
Junior Nina Reinhardt (Northport, N.Y./Northport) had a sensational outing in the long jump, as she recorded a personal best leap of 18-8, solidifying her mark as the Bison's all-time fifth best jumper, and just missing a spot at the ECAC Championships by 1/4 of an inch.

On the men's side, junior John MacFeeters (Haddon Field, N.J./Large) qualified for the finals in the 60-hurdles and ran a time of 8.71, for a third-place finish overall and a sixth-place ranking in the Bison record books.
