LEWISBURG, Pa. – A pair of Bucknell women's track and field athletes received weekly awards from the Patriot League following their results at the Penn State Relays over the weekend.
Sophomore Christine Bendzinski was named M-F Athletic Female Track Athlete of the Week, while senior Sophia Nnadi earned M-F Athletic Female Field Athlete of the Week.
Bendzinski took home first-place in the 3000-meter run, beating out a field of 21 runners, in a time of 9:56.40. Her mark was the ninth-fastest time in program history.
Nnadi qualified for the ECAC Championships over the weekend for her performance in the shot put. The senior co-captain recorded a new personal-best with a heave of 46-3 ¾. Her mark was the third best effort in school history.
