Bison Notes

The Bison received several quality outings after hosting the Bison Outdoor Classic, including event wins from Maura Fiamoncini and Kaitlin Salisbury.
Fiamoncini won the javelin for the fourth consecutive meet to open the season (158-2).
Salisbury took home first in the 100 (11.91), and also posted an excellent triple jump on Saturday at 39-5 ¾, easily qualifying for ECAC's, as well as coming in just under five inches off her personal-best of 39-10 ½ that she set at the Patriot League Outdoor Championships last season.
Harper Stewart posted a strong meet in the heptathlon, posting a score of 4363 to move into the sixth spot on Bucknell's all-time list.
Also entering the top ten for Bucknell was Alexandra Butz in the high jump after clearing 5-5 ¼.
Teammate and college debutant Taylor O'Brien also cleared 5-5 ¼, with both her and Butz entering the sixth spot on Bucknell's list.
O'Brien, a freshman contributor on Bucknell's women's basketball team, won a Patriot League Championship earlier this spring with that squad, and competed at her first meet on Saturday.
Delia Sipe finished in sixth in the shot put (46-0 ½), the fifth-ranked throw in Bucknell history and a personal-best.
Tia Tardy (1500, 4:33.83) and Ashley Blair (5000, 17:08.94) also earned ECAC qualification.
The women took first place in last season's Bucknell Team Challenge, with Tardy posting a first-place finish in the 800 (2:10.84)
Payton Capes posted a strong day in the steeplechase, entering Bucknell's top-ten list at the six spot as a freshman (10:56.65)
The 4x100 team with Salisbury, Carli Lucke, Jennifer Dietrich, and Kafilat Oladiran ran the fourth-fastest time in Bucknell history (47.24)
