LEWISBURG, Pa.- Kailey Granger's smashing collegiate debut at the Harry Lang Invitational was rightly and justly awarded on Tuesday when the league announced its weekly honors. Granger picked up the Patriot League Women's Cross Country Rookie of the Week laurel for her seventh-place finish at the aforementioned meet.Â
The Dallastown native's time of 18:29.2 was the third-best pace by a Bison runner and the second-best time by a freshman runner. The best freshman mark was recorded by the race winner, a runner from the University of Buffalo. Granger's accomplishment helped to ensure the Bucknell victory at the Invitational.Â
Granger is the first Bison first-year to win Rookie of the Week since teammate Caryn Rippey earned the privilege on Sept. 6, 2022. Granger's win also gives the Bison a Rookie of the Week win for the third consecutive season. Lauren Trapini tallied the award twice in 2021. Bucknell now has 20 Rookie of the Week awards which is second-most in Patriot League history.Â
Granger and the Bison return to action on Sept. 16 at the Colonial Invitational hosted by Robert Morris.Â
