LEWISBURG, Pa - On Monday, Bucknell's men's indoor track and field sprinter Kerry Boyle (Hazleton, Pa./Hazleton) was selected as the Damon's Bison Athlete of the Week after recording a new school record and a personal best at the Gulden Relays last Saturday in Gerhard Fieldhouse.
The Hazleton, Pa., native won the 500-meter dash with a time of time of 1 minute, 3.76 seconds, which was a new personal best and moved him into third place in school history. His time also earned him a spot in the IC4A Championships, which will take place in Boston, Mass. in March.
Boyle teamed with Matthew Johnson (Newburgh, N.Y./Marboro Central), Kevin Macleod (East Longmeadow, Mass./East Longmeadow), and Brian Mooney (Rochester, N.Y./Gates-Chili) in the sprint medley relay that broke a 31-year old school record (3:33.4) with a time 3:32.21. The sophomore sprinter paired with Matthew Bonelli (Califon, N.J./Pingry School), Eric Guja (Massapequa, N.Y./St. Anthony's) and Gregory Baxter (Binghamton, N.Y./Chenango Valley) to win the 4x400 with a time of 3:22.36. Boyle was also named the Track MVP of the Gulden Relays.
The Bucknell indoor track and field teams will host the Bucknell Heptagonal on Saturday, Jan. 20, in Gerhard Fieldhouse. The meet will begin with the field events at 10:30 a.m., while the running events will start at noon.
