LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell swimming and diving teams will return to the pool this weekend for their own three-day invitational at Kinney Natatorium. The meet follows a championship-type schedule with morning prelims followed by evening finals over the course of multiple days. This is the 13th consecutive year the Bison have participated in a mid-season, multi-day meet, and the fourth straight year the Bucknell Invitational has been held.
Student-athletes from nine visiting schools will provide strong competition for the Bison in the scored event. Binghamton, Delaware, Fordham, Georgetown, La Salle, Towson, Vermont (women only), Yale (men only) and select squad members from nearby Susquehanna will join host Bucknell.
The Bison women won last year's Bucknell Invitational, marking the third straight year it won the event. The men took second place last November, its third consecutive top-three finish at the event.
Bucknell's women enter the weekend with a 3-3 overall record this season and are 2-2 in the Patriot League. The Bison men are 4-2 overall and 3-1 against league foes.
Ninth-year Bucknell head coach Dan Schinnerer recently earned his 100th dual win as Bison coach. He has 51 victories at the helm of the men's program and 49 while guiding the women.
Following this weekend's event, Bucknell will return to action Dec. 6 with a home meet against Patriot League opponent Colgate at 1 p.m.
