Overview
- The Paul Short Run has grown into one of the Mid-Atlantic region's most prestigious and historic races. Â
- Bucknell will race against a diverse set of opponents, including Patriot League foes and Power Four squads.Â
- The Bison finished ninth at the PSU Spiked Shoe Invitational narrowly edging Navy and finishing right behind Maryland.Â
- Caryn Rippey, continuing her hot stretch after finishing first at the Lafayette Preview, placed 23rd with a time of 21:03.0, finishing as the highest non-Power Four/Ivy League runner in a crowded field. Her placement was powered by a movement of 13 spots. The junior has blossomed early as the Bison's foremost runner.Â
- Meghan Rentner finished 53rd on a time of 21:38.0. Her position was also fueled by a late surge in movement.Â
- Kailey Granger dropped 12 spots late in the race but still carved out a top 70 finish at 70th. Her mark of 21:47.3 sealed the strong result.Â
- Lauren Trapani gave Bucknell a fourth runner in the top 75 by finishing 73th. The senior recorded a speed of 21:50.7.Â
- Kerry O'Day continued her strong freshman season by placing 83rd. The rookie runner raced to a time of 21:59.8, which won her Patriot League Women's Rookie of the Week.Â
