LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell men's swimming senior Todd Bauer (Harleysville, Pa./Souderton Area) was named Lewisburg Hotel Bison Athlete of the Week on Monday after setting a school record in the 500 free and helping the Bison to a third-place finish at the Patriot League Championships this past weekend.
Bauer finished second in the preliminaries for the 500 free with a time of 4:33.33, surpassing the previous school record of 4:34.05 set by Bucknell Hall of Fame member Jim Harvey in 1986. He went on to take fourth in the finals with a time of 4:35.11.
In the 1650 free, Bauer earned a bronze medal and improved his personal best time to 16:07.93, which ranks second all-time in program history. He also set a new Bucknell top-10 mark in the 200 free with the sixth-best time of 1:42.07 and finished sixth in the event.
Bauer scored 43 points at the 2005-06 Patriot League Championships, giving him a total of 153 points in league championship competition over his four year-career and the highest total for any member of the Class of 2006 from the eight schools in the Patriot League.
The Bison men finished third at the Patriot League Championships with 623 points, trailing only Navy (853) and Army (651.5) in the final team rankings.
