Donner's Debriefing

"We are excited about this meet. We are holding some people out due to mental and physical fatigue and others are preparing for the upcoming outdoor season. However, we still have a fairly large group going that will score their share of points and also get some championship meet experience."

Last Time Out (Patriot League Indoor Championships)

Meghan Quinn had a banner day, collecting 24 points. The senior runner won the 200-meter dash with a scintillating time of 23.73. The mark set a meet record and improved her Bucknell best ranking. Her 7.49 time in the 60-meter dash won her silver and broke Kaitlin Salisbury's record of 7.50 set in 2019. It is Quinn's ninth school record. Quinn finished her record-breaking day with a third-place finish in the 4x400-meter relay. The "A" Team of Colleen Linko, Katherine Loew, Anna Posh, and Quinn placed third (3:48.66) to unlock six points for the Bison.
The Bison earned 13 points in the long jump. Lila Gaughan won silver with her attempt of 19-5 ½. The mark improved her second-all-time ranking in Bucknell history. The Orange & Blue's record holder for the event, Karen Hull, finished fourth (18-10) to win five points.
Karen Hull reset the school record in the high jump with a leap of 5-10 ½. The jump bettered Hull's previous best of 5-8 by 2 ½ inches and supplied ten points to the Bison war chest. She added five points to the Bison effort with her fifth-place finish in the 60-meter hurdles. The senior had a time of 8.78.
The Orange & Blue dominated the high jump. Olivia Boyce and Abby Kates shared second place with a leap of 5-6, with both jumpers earning seven points. Every other jumper finished 5-3 or lower. Boyce's mark of 5-6 placed her ninth in Bucknell history.
The Bison jumps squad continued its success, with freshman Megan Baggetta notching third in the triple jump. Her mark of 39-2 ½ ranks seventh in Bucknell history.
Quinn and Hull won First Team All-Patriot League honors.
Boyce, Gaughan, and Quinn received Second Team All-Patriot League laurels.

Last Year's ECAC/IC4A Championship Tidbits

Bucknell finished third out of 43 teams, the highest placement in Bison history for the ECAC Championships.
Siobhan O'Sullivan entered as the top seed in the shot put, and the thrower lived up to the advanced billing. She threw the ball a distance of 46-10.25 to outpace all challengers, win gold, and claim 10 points for the Bison cause.
Meghan Quinn spent the 2022-23 indoor season repeatedly breaking the 200 200-meter dash mark, and the now-then junior sprinter, one day after breaking the record, shattered it again in the finals. Quinn finished fifth, but her time of 24.03 resided as the first-place mark in the Bucknell lists by 0.34 seconds.
