LEWISBURG, Pa.- The Bucknell Bison's women track & field team dominated the Bucknell Team Challenge winning the meet with 227 points far ahead of second place Army's total of 72. The Orange & Blue won nine events and set two school records in the high jump and the 4x100-meter relay. It was senior day and the Bison celebrated all the graduating athletes who accomplished so much for the program. A big thank you to all the student-athletes.Â

Results
"It was an outstanding meet for both teams," said head coach Kevin Donner. "I thought we had the right mindset for the windy weather earlier in the day and the rainy weather we had after the lightning delay. Two school records for the women is huge (Hull in the high jump and the 4x100-meter relay). Boyce tied the old high jump record as well. Tereska continues to impress in the javelin and I would expect her mark will get her into the NCAA East Preliminary and the same goes with Hull in the high jump."
