Overview
- The Bison placed fourth at the Patriot League Championships. It was one spot higher than the 2022 placement.Â
- Abby Paczewski, in a year, went from 32nd place to eighth at the PL Championships. Her time of 22:31.5 was only two seconds away from nabbing her First Team honors. Paczewski was the only non-Army, Boston, or Navy runner to finish in the top 10.Â
- Junior Lauren Trapani finished 15th to become the other non-Army, Boston, or Navy runner in the top 15. Trapani's time of 22:49.1 provided crucial points for the Bison war effort.Â
- Junior Keeley Misutka didn't duplicate her All-League results of 2022, but her 20th place time of 23:05.4 solidified the Bison's grip on fourth place.Â
- Freshman Kailey Granger made a sparkling rookie debut at the Patriot League Championships by finishing 22nd (23:10.7). It was the seventh-best time for a freshman runner.Â
- Senior Laura Sakol concluded her Patriot League Championships tenure by becoming the Bison's final scorer. Sakol finished 26th (23:21.9), only two seconds from the top 25 mark.Â
- The Bison previously competed at the Goodman Course during the Paul Short Run on Sept. 30. The Bison are banking on prior course experience to provide an edge. The Orange & Blue placed 23rd at the event.Â
