"We were very pleased to have our women's 4x100-meter relay finish fourth in the college division at the Penn Relays with a time that is not too from our school record," said head coach Kevin Donner. "This team is running consistently and with much confidence. The Maroon & Gold Invitational met our team's needs and quite a few athletes had great meets. We had eight wins on the women's side and plenty of seasonal and personal bests. This meet gave many people an opportunity to end their seasons on a high note or an opportunity to make a league team."
Madeline Lehker continued the strong season for the Bucknell high jumpers by winning the high jump event with a leap of 5-05.00.Â
Jennifer Scott won the pole vault on a clearance of 11-05.75.
Abby Eisold won the 100-meter hurdles by over a second with her time of 15.01.Â
Hollie Walters claimed first place in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:18.31. It was a full second faster than the second-place finisher.Â
The Bison claimed the top five placements in the 400-meter hurdles, with Maddy Hippensteal's time of 1:04.11 winning the event.Â
Bucknell filled the top four in the 200-meter dash as Ella Boback's time of 26.19 claimed the victory.Â
Grace Vives won the 1500-meter run by nearly nine seconds. Her time of 4:49.17 dominated the event.Â
Meghan Smith edged out a win in the 5000-meter run with her time of 17:52.90.Â
At the Penn Relays, the 4x100-meter relay quartet of Bridget Lalonde, Meghan Quinn, Lila Gaughan, and Karen Hull finished fourth in the college division with a time of 46.44.
