RESULTS
LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell women's swimming & diving squad continued its outstanding start to the 2024-25 season by winning 10 events on Saturday at the non-scored Bison Fall Invite at Kinney Natatorium. Competing against Seton Hall and Binghamton, freshman Clara Renner won two events with top-10 times in Bucknell history, and Kyla Kelly was also a double winner for the Bison.
Renner, who won three events in the dual win over Boston University to start the season, captured the 200-yard freestyle and 200 individual medley on Saturday. Her time of 1:49.39 in the 200 free was fifth-fastest in Bucknell history and paced a 1-2-3-4 Bison sweep along with Sydney Dettmann, Sara Ketron, and Sofia Burns.
Renner is now eighth all-time in the 200 IM after posting a 2:02.85. That led a sensational sweep of the top five places for the Bison in that event, with Virginia Hastings, Ketron, Rylie Giles, and Sam Benzija following. Renner was also fifth in the 100 breaststroke.
Kelly had another big meet with wins in the 100 free and 400 IM along with a third-place finish in the 50 free.
The Bison started the day by edging out a pair of Seton Hall foursomes in the 200 free relay. Burns, Ketron, Ashley Piacentino, and Hastings finished just over one second in front of the Pirates.
Bucknell won both diving events, with Meghan Catherwood and Natalie Penman going 1-2 in the 1-meter event, and Reggie Frias winning on the 3-meter board. Catherman was third and Penman fourth in the 3-meter competition.
Benzija and Liz Dokina went 1-2 in the 200 breaststroke, and the Bison also picked up wins from Jennifer Bolden in the 500 free and Hanna Bingley in the 100 breast.
Kendall Lueke was the runner-up in both the 400 IM and 100 backstroke, Kelly Byrne was second in the 200 back, and Giles took second in the 100 butterfly.
Bucknell's busy home schedule continues next Saturday when Navy, American, and Lafayette visit Kinney Natatorium for quad meet starting at noon.
