LEWISBURG, Pa. -- The Bucknell Varsity Four claimed first place at the Cherry Hill Invitational over the weekend, and on Tuesday the Bison received Patriot League Boat of the Week honors. Guided by coxswain Claire Gilman, the foursome of Emma James, Olivia Smith, Ally Demas and Caitlin Cobb powered Bucknell to victory on the Cooper River.
The Bison V4+ qualified first in its heat, and then came back in the Grand Final and bested Rhode Island, George Washington, Jacksonville, Georgetown and Saint Joseph's. Bucknell posted a winning time of 7:58.65, which was nearly 19 seconds faster than their preliminary time and more than 11 seconds faster than runner-up Rhode Island.
It was a banner day for the Bucknell fours, as the Second Varsity Four was also victorious at the Cherry Hill Invitational. The 2V4+, comprised of Meghan Comstock, Olivia Zavrel, Nevia Selmon, Erin Rigney and coxswain Colleen Hull, clocked a time of 8:14.62 to outdistance second-place Connecticut by just under nine seconds. Rhode Island, Jacksonville, Connecticut's 3V4 and Old Dominion rounded out the Grand Final.
The Bison will celebrate Senior Day this Saturday and then host Villanova for a scrimmage on Sunday at 8 a.m. on the Susquehanna River. Bucknell will then row at the Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia on May 10-11, with the Patriot League Championship to follow on May 17.
