LEWISBURG, Pa.-- Freshman Karly Forker and sophomore Delia Sipe each picked up Patriot League Honors this week after impressive performances on Friday at the Bucknell Tune Up.

Forker won the 500 after running a time of 1:17.22 to qualify for ECAC's in her second event already this season after qualifying in the 1000 earlier in the year. This is Forker's second Rookie of the Week Award she has won this season.

Sipe earns her first Field Athlete of the Week honor and the fourth by a Bison athlete this season after Kaitlin Salisbury had won the award three times in weeks prior. Sipe won the shot put after a toss of 46-5 ¼, a new personal-best and the fourth-best throw on Bucknell's all-time indoor list.

Forker, Sipe and the rest of the Bison's Patriot League Indoor squad will travel to Annapolis on Saturday to take part in the Patriot League Indoor Championships.
