LEWISBURG, Pa.- The Bucknell Bison women's track & field team journeys to New York City for this weekend's Big Apple Invitational at the prestigious Ocean Breeze facility.Â
What: Big Apple Invitational
Where: Ocean Breeze Track Complex-Staten Island, N.Y.
When: Saturday, Feb. 11, 2023
"We are very excited to compete in the Big Apple Invitational," said head coach Kevin Donner. "It's a meet and facility that Bucknell Track and Field has never been at. We have a lot of our athletes from around that area who competed there in high school, and I have heard nothing but good things about the facility at Ocean Breeze. We are two weeks out from the Patriot League Championships, and we tend to take our home meet next week very cautious, so this week, there is a lot at stake for many of our athletes."

Last Time Out (Scarlet & White Invite)
- Bridget Lalonde inscribed her name upon the Bucknell record books with three top-ten finishes. Her 400 Meter Dash time of 55.83 was ninth at the event but second all-time in the Bucknell lists, only 0.5 seconds behind the first-place mark. It also earned ECAC qualification. In the 200 Meter Dash, her time of 25.19 was 25th for the event, but it is now eighth in Bucknell history. Her final top-ten ranking came as part of the 4x400 Meter Relay Team. As part of the Bucknell "A" Team with Katherine Loew, Jessie Castellano, and Meghan Quinn, the quartet raced to sixth (3:45.21) at the event, fourth in the Bucknell lists, and earned ECAC qualification.Â
- The 200 Meter Dash was not finished being rewritten by Lalonde. Meghan Quinn added another laurel to her impressive career by moving into third in Bucknell history. Her time of 24.68 granted her ninth place in the event and ECAC qualification.Â
- Caryn Rippey continued her impressive freshman campaign by running herself into the Bucknell record books for the 3000 Meter Run. Her time of 9:50.35 is now ninth in Bison history, and it grabbed her 14th in the event. Additionally, it granted ECAC qualification for the young runner.Â
