What: Colonial Relays

When: Friday, March 31, and Saturday, April 1, 2023

"The Colonial Relays has been a staple on the Bucknell Track & Field schedule for about 50 years," said head coach Kevin Donner. "It is a true team competition that is scored with over 40 schools competing. We are a good fit for this meet based on how we design our program, and I love all the non-traditional relays on day two, like the 4x200 and 4x1500 relays. Teams with depth usually do well, but with so many schools, you will need some big hitters, which I believe we have. We are hoping to get some nice weather as well."
