EASTON, Pa.- The Bucknell Bison women obtained ten event victories and a top ten mark in Orange & Blue history at the Lafayette Invitational on Saturday.
Donner's Debriefing
"It was an all-around nice effort from both teams today. It was cold and windy, and I felt our athletes did not let that bother them, and we were able to take home plenty of wins, high places, and some top-ten marks. It was a great tune-up and rust buster to prepare us for the Colonial Relays and the Bison Outdoor Classic over the next two weeks."
