About the Bison

Bucknell is coming off a solid showing in difficult conditions at the Happy Easter Races hosted by Lehigh last weekend.
The Bison won the team title, scoring 224.5 points to outpace host Lehigh (153) to earn the team title.
Although the Bison competed in adverse conditions, Bucknell managed to still post some impressive marks.
Ashlyn Ramos picked up where she left off after earning the individual title at the Patriot League Cross Country Championships, easily taking first in the 5000. Ramos moved into the fourth spot on Bucknell's all-time list in the process (16:42.82).
Also earning a place in Bucknell's top ten over the weekend was Nora Bennett, who won the 3000m steeplechase (11:04.24) in her first time competing in the event since April of 2019. Bennett has set personal bests in the 1500 and the steeplechase this season so far.
Madison McGloin had another impressive week for the Bison in winning the hammer throw. McGloin ranks third in the Patriot League in the event (171-8), and has set personal bests in back-to-back weeks. The first year has also improved in all three meets this season.
Alex Butz has also continued her impressive start to the season in winning the pole vault and the high jump last weekend. Butz set a personal best in the pole vault that ranks second all-time in the opening weekend at Virginia (12-5.5), and has also won the pole vault in back-to-back weeks. The native of Parkton, Md. also won the high jump on Saturday (5-5), clearing the mark for the second straight week.
Maura Fiamoncini provided a strong performance at home in the javelin two weeks ago, winning Patriot League Field Athlete of the Week honors (174-0).
Karen Hull is another first year who had a solid meet for the Bison the last time out at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, in which the native of Randolph, N.J. won the 100m hurdles while placing in the high jump and anchoring the 4x100 relay squad.
