About the Bison

The Bison previewed the Patriot League Championships course on Sept. 7 at Colgate, placing 4^th of 7 at the Harry Lang Invite.
The field featured four other Patriot League schools looking to get a preview of the course: Boston University, Lehigh, host Colgate, and Navy.
Freshman Samuel Whittaker posted the highest finish for the Bison, taking 12^th in the field of 84.
The 12^th-place finish was a strong start as Whittaker made his collegiate debut in that race.
Brendan O'Toole (15^th) and Evan Minor (16^th), and fellow freshman Greg Eisenhower also took places in the top 20.
The young lineup featured four freshmen at the meet, with Domenic Campagna and Noah Martin also competing.
Several of the Bison's top runners were held out for the Harry Lang Invite, including seniors Drew Dorflinger, Brendan McGill, and Jake Stupak, as well as Connor McMenamin.
Bucknell last ran a meet at Lock Haven in 2010, taking third in a field of five teams in one final tune up before the Patriot League Championships. Charles Murphy was the top Bison finisher, crossing the line in 10^th.
