LEWISBURG, Pa. – Nicholas Marino has earned the Patriot League Field Athlete of the Week Award for the second time in three weeks, the league office announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Marino, a junior from Horsham, Pa., posted a personal-best in the pole vault for the second time in as many weeks he has competed in winning the event for the third straight meet (16-8.75). Marino added nearly a full foot to his mark of 15-9 that placed fifth at the Patriot League Indoor Championships a season ago.
Two weeks prior at the Angry Birds Invite, Marino tied his previous personal-best (16-4.75), before eclipsing that mark by four inches on Saturday. The mark stands as the third-highest mark in Bucknell history behind 2019 Bucknell Hall of Fame inductee Dave Pomfret and 2019 graduate Matt Fay.
An NCAA East Provisional qualifier during the outdoor season, Marino's mark ranks first in the Patriot League, and 46th nationally.
Marino and the rest of the Bucknell squad will compete in two meets this weekend. A group of Bison will remain in Lewisburg for the Bison Open and Multi, while another group will travel to nearby University Park for the Penn State National Open.
