ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Bucknell's Abby Doss and Catherine Craig each earned a podium spot in the 400 IM on the third day of the Patriot League Championships.
In addition, Maddie Hartigan followed up Thursday's golden performance in the 500 freestyle by capturing a bronze medal in the 200 freestyle. It was the senior's seventh individual Patriot League medal and second in this event.
Doss, a sophomore from nearby Shamokin, Pa., took second in the 400 IM on the strength of the Bison's third-fastest time (4:20.32). Craig, a junior, was right behind her, clocking Bucknell's fourth-fastest time (4:20.66) en route to her third-place performance. Each captured her first career Patriot League individual medal.
