LEWISBURG, Pa. – Five outstanding alumni, representing five different sports and four different decades, have been elected to the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame. The 44th Hall of Fame class will be formally inducted on Friday, Sept. 30, as part of Homecoming Weekend festivities.
The Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2022:
Below is more information on each member of the Hall of Fame Class of 2022.
A 2012 inductee into the Collegiate Water Polo Association Hall of Fame, MARK GENSHEIMER '81 now takes his place among Bucknell's best. Classmates with the great Scott Schulte, who is one of the all-time leading scorers in college water polo history, Gensheimer was a prolific scorer in his own right. His 244 goals, 152 assists, and 396 points all still rank among Bucknell's best ever.
A tenacious player at both ends of the pool, Gensheimer was a key member of Bison teams that produced a 114-15-3 record with four straight Eastern Championships and four straight NCAA Tournament berths from 1977-80. Even more remarkable, those were the Bucknell men's water polo program's first four seasons at the varsity level.
As a senior, Gensheimer recorded 108 goals and 181 points on a team that finished 31-4-2 and placed seventh at NCAAs. He had 74 goals and 51 assists on a 27-3-1 team that finished fifth at NCAAs during his junior year. As a sophomore, he logged 20 goals and 17 assists on a squad that went 28-3 and took sixth in the national championship tournament. Gensheimer tallied 42 goals as a freshman when Bucknell finished 28-5, including a seventh-place NCAA finish. No goal was bigger than his tally in sudden-death overtime in Bucknell's epic 21-20 win over Pittsburgh in the 1977 Eastern Championship game.
Gensheimer, who also competed on the Bison swimming and diving team, earned First Team All-Eastern Championship honors in 1980 and Second Team honors in 1977. After his junior year, he tallied 13 goals and nine assists in six games at the AAU indoor national championships, earning him AAU All-America honors.
After graduation, Gensheimer competed on the East Team at the 1981 U.S. Olympic Festival and helped the team win the gold medal. It was the only time in the history of that tournament that the winning team came from the East. He has since remained heavily involved in the sport of water polo, including a stint on the CWPA Board of Directors.
Born in Poland and raised in Gainesville, Fla., MARIUSZ MISIEC '98 came to Bucknell and developed into one of the football program's all-time best offensive linemen. Misiec was a three-time All-Patriot League selection, including a First Team honoree as a junior and senior, and from 1995-97 he started every game at right or left tackle until suffering a broken ankle with three games left in his senior season.
Misiec was a dominant blocker on some of Bucknell's best teams. He was part of the 1996 Patriot League championship team as well as a 10-1 squad in 1997. Misiec blocked for Hall-of-Fame running back Rich Lemon, whose 4,742 career rushing yards are the most in team history by a wide margin.
Misiec was a two-time winner of the John Campana Award as Bucknell's most outstanding offensive linemen, and he was named to the Patriot League's 15th and 25th Anniversary Teams.
CARLY GRAYTOCK SHEA '00 was a three-time All-Patriot League honoree in cross country, and she led the Bison to their first two Patriot League titles in 1998 and 1999. Graytock captained the 1999 team that made history by becoming the first Bison women's squad to qualify as a team for the NCAA Championship. The Bison went on to place 24th as a team at the national meet.
Graytock was also part of five Patriot League championship track and field teams. Outdoors, she was a three-time Patriot League champion in the 10,000-meter run, and she was named the 2000 Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Graytock's top 10K time of 35:59.62 was second in school history at the time of her graduation, trailing only Hall-of-Famer Judy Perry.
The winner of the Margaret L. Bryan Award as the top multi-sport athlete in her class, Graytock later competed in the marathon at the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2004 and 2008. She was named to the Patriot League All-Decade Team and 25th Anniversary Team in cross country. In 2017, the Forest City, Pa., native was inducted into the Northeast Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame.
DAVID MARBLE '10 is the third wrestling inductee in as many years from this transformational era of the program, joining former teammates Andy Rendos '10 and Kevin LeValley '11. Marble was part of Dan Wirnsberger's first recruiting class after the wrestling program was reinstated to varsity status in 2005, and he went on to become a four-year team co-captain and four-time NCAA qualifier at 133 pounds.
After finishing sixth at the EIWA Championships as a freshman, Marble made the 133-pound final and finished as the runner-up as a sophomore in 2008. He also finished fourth in 2009 and third in 2010 to make it four straight NCAA trips. Marble also helped the Bison to a third-place team finish at EIWAs as a junior and fourth as a senior, a remarkable feat to contend so quickly in one of the nation's best conferences.
A native of Harpursville, N.Y., Marble was the inaugural winner of the team's William A. Graham IV Most Outstanding Wrestler Award in 2008. He graduated with a career record of 111-44, including a career-high 30 wins as a senior. His 111 victories ranked third in team history at the time of his graduation. He compiled a 61-17 career record in dual matches and a 22-5 mark in EIWA duals.
Marble received the Edward W. Pangburn Award for "sportsmanship, fellowship, and contribution to the University", and after graduation, he returned to Bucknell first as an assistant coach and later as an annual giving officer.
During his final three seasons in Lewisburg, first-baseman DOUG SHRIBMAN '11 put on a power-hitting display never before seen in Bucknell and Patriot League history, and his MVP performance in the 2010 Patriot League Tournament lifted the Bison to a league title and an NCAA Regionals appearance.
Shribman demolished the school and league records for home runs in a season (21 in 2010) and career (43), and he also set team marks for career total bases (385) and doubles (45). His 153 career runs batted in ranked second in team history behind only Hall-of-Famer Tyler Prout, and Shribman also ranked in the top-10 all-time in batting average (.347), on-base percentage (.434), and hits (201) at the time of his graduation. He posted a career OPS of 1.098.
Shribman capped off his prolific junior year with one of the finest postseason performances in league annals. In six Patriot League Tournament games, Shribman hit .423 with seven home runs, 16 RBIs, 10 runs scored, and a 1.308 slugging percentage. He paced the Bison to series wins on the road at Army and Holy Cross to claim the league title and the NCAA bid. In the third and deciding game of the championship series at Holy Cross, Bucknell trailed 7-6 in the seventh inning until his go-ahead three-run homer paved the way to a 12-7 win. It was his second three-run homer of the game and third long ball of the day. Shribman homered again against Virginia Tech in the Columbia Regional, giving him eight postseason home runs and 21 for the season.
A native of Marblehead, Mass., Shribman came to Bucknell as a pitcher and registered just five at-bats as a freshman, meaning his impressive career totals came in just three years as an everyday hitter. Despite playing sparingly in 2008, Shribman was part of a history-making team that won the Patriot League title and shocked Florida State in the NCAA Regionals.
Prior to his senior year, the NCAA enacted restrictions on bats, but Shribman still hit .325 with 16 homers and 49 RBIs in 2011. Of his 63 hits that season, 32 went for extra bases.
Shribman, who was a three-time All-Patriot League selection and an Academic All-Patriot League honoree, was one of eight players selected to participate in the 2011 TD Ameritrade College Home Run Derby in Omaha. He was the recipient of the Bison Club Award at the 2011 Bucknell Athletics Senior Awards Banquet.
