LEWISBURG, Pa.- The Bucknell Bison men's track & field team completed day one of the Bison Open and the PSU Invite on Friday night. Samuel Whittaker's time in the Mile Run highlighted the evening as he is now third in the Bucknell record books.

"Very solid evening at both PSU and Home," said Head Coach Kevin Donner. "I thought our highlights were Samuel Whittaker in the mile at Penn State, where he ran 4:05.35 which is the third best in school, and Brandon Foust in the 200, where he finished in second overall with a very solid 22.22, which is an IC4A qualifying time. It also looks like Brian Scotto is getting back his rhythm after his recent surgery with his second-place finish of 8.46. Franco Perinotti is off to a nice start in the heptathlon and is sitting fourth with a mark of 2478 points so far.
Bison OpenÂ
Brandon Foust posted the most impressive result of the night for the Bison. His 22.22 time in the 200m Dash was the second-best time of the event and it earned him IC4A qualification.Â
Brian Scotto placed second in the 60m Hurdles with a time of 8.46.Â
The Distance Medley foursome of Gardy Philogene, Zachary Jelinek, Jayson Harmer, and Daniel Hilmer finished third (10:24.81). The quartet was one second off from qualifying for the IC4A.Â
After tonight, Franco Perinotti sits fifth in the Heptathlon with 2478 points, nearly 200 points behind the leader. Four events have been completed so far.Â
PSU Invite
Samuel Whittaker finished 18th overall in the Mile Run, but his time of 4:05.35 is now third all-time in Bucknell history.Â
In the Weight Throw, Robert Feeney and John Calisi both placed in the top 20. Feeney's toss of 55-7 3/4 netted 18th and Calisi's heave of 54-10 put him at 20th.Â
