LEWISBURG, Pa. - One week after breaking into the Bison top-10 all-time in the 1650 free, sophomore Brittany Neligan (Hempstead, N.Y.) set a new top-10 mark in the 1000 free as she helped the Bucknell women's swimming and diving team to a 141-102 victory over Delaware on Friday evening in Kinney Natatorium.
Neligan took first in the 1000 free with a time of 10:33.58, good for the eighth-best time in program history as she posted one of Bucknell's eight individual wins in the meet. She also turned in a runner-up showing in the 500 free with a time of 5:12.43.
