Donner's Debriefing

"We are excited about competing in the Spire Collegiate Games. It is a large meet with a solid collection of Division I-II-III schools in a world-class facility. We have never been to this facility, and most of our athletes have never seen a 300-meter indoor track. We are two weeks from the Patriot League Championship, so our athletes are now rounding into form. We should see some good marks this weekend."

Last Time Out (Sykes & Sabock Challenge)

Meghan Quinn, the Warwick Winmaker, set her team-high eighth-school record by winning the 400-meter dash with a time of 54.57. The senior speedster blazed through the competition, winning the event by 2.30 seconds. That fact renders the feat even more impressive since Quinn had no other runner "pushing" her. The previous record was set in 2023 (54.75) by Bridget Lalonde. Quinn now has 22 event victories in her illustrious career. The senior runner picked up her fifth Bison of the Week award.
Caryn Rippey brought home gold in the 3000-meter run. The sophomore runner's time of 9:51.07 won the event by 3.91 seconds.
Abby Paczewski finished seventh (4:53.35) in the mile run. The senior's time transitioned her into fifth place in Bucknell history. Paczewski entered the top ten earlier this season.
Freshman Justley Sharp continues her sensational rookie year, placing second (46-10 ¾) in the shot put. The feat won Sharp her second Patriot League Rookie of the Week award.
