Bison Notes

Maura Fiamoncini continued her strong sophomore campaign, claiming her second consecutive Patriot League Field Athlete of the Week award after winning the javelin at the Raleigh Relays over the weekend.
Fiamoncini tossed the javelin a distance of 166-5, defeating the next closest competitor by nearly 33 feet. She has now won both of the meets she has participated in this season, and has the 18^th-ranked throw in the country as well as the top mark in the Patriot League.
Kaitlin Salisbury posted a strong meet at the Raleigh Relays, finishing sixth in the 100 and seventh in the long jump.
Payton Capes posted a strong time in the 1500 after running a time of 4:34.63, just shy of ECAC qualification and a top ten mark in Bucknell history.
Molly Montalvo qualified for ECAC's in the hammer throw after a toss of 171-7.
Bucknell placed four in the top five of the 800, with Tia Tardy, Gianna Mincone, Tara Lyons, and Madeleine Hunt all posting top five finishes.
Ashley Blair took the individual title in the 1500, while Delia Sipe recorded an ECAC standard in the shot put at 44-7 ½.
Jenna Farmer also posted an ECAC standard in the 10,000 meter run with a time of 37:36.92.
Sipe and Brianna Tutuska also qualified for ECAC's in the discus. Tutuska won the event at the Jim Taylor Invite with a throw of 141-8, while Sipe was close behind at 141-6.
The Bison last visited the Colonial Relays in 2017, in which they topped the field of 45 with the breaking of an 11-year old distance medley relay the highlight of the meet.
Jenna Farmer is the only current member of that squad that was compiled of Christine Bendzinski, Allison Sharkey, and Sarah Chandler that ran a time of 11:38.54.
Salisbury was part of a 4x100 team at that meet that qualified for ECAC's with a time of 47.91. She also finished in fifth in the long jump at 18-0 ½ and ninth in the 100 at 12.40.
