About the Bison/Last Time Out

The Bison finished third overall at the Patriot League Championship with several standout individual performances.
Matt Fay won his first ever Patriot League gold medal in record-breaking fashion in the pole vault.
Fay cleared 17-4.5 to break the Bucknell, facility, and meet record. The senior from New Rochelle, N.Y. smashed his previous personal-best of 16-6.75 that he set earlier this season, and broke a school record of 17-3 by Dave Pomfret that had stood since the year 2000.
Jeff Brown joined Fay as a gold medal winner in the 60, completing a sweep in the short sprint after Kaitlin Salisbury won the event.
The last time Bucknell swept both of the short sprint events was in 1993 when it was still the 55.
Brown tied his school record of 6.81 in the finals to win the event by .06.
Billy Melchionni earned the school record in the 200 in a runner-up finish, breaking Will Carter's 21.48 that was set in the 2017 season with a 21.44.
Reggie Harris moved into the eighth spot on the Bucknell all-time list after jumping 48-0, a new personal-best.
Nick Pacelli posted a solid performance in the 1000, earning a personal-best in an IC4A-qualifying time of 2:28.24 to finish in third place.
Micah Sims scored in the long jump with a fourth-place finish after qualifying for IC4As with a leap of 23-4.5.
The 4x800-meter relay team of Brett Zatlin, Robert Dessoye, Sean Conway, and Scott Gulizio qualified for IC4As with a time of 7:36.25.
The 4x400-meter relay team of Steve Rizio, R. Dessoye, Carson Etnyre, and Alex Dessoye earned a third place finish in a time of 3:18.39.
The distance medley relay team also qualified for IC4As, with Brendan McGill, Gulizio, Matthew Barton, and Drew Dorflinger all taking part with a time of 10:15.21.
