Last Year's Bison Outdoor Classic

The Orange & Blue crew set new records in the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relays and pulled off wins in the 4x400-meter relay and 400-meter dash.
Jessie Castellano won the 400-meter dash. The senior sprinter's time of 54.91 was more than a half second faster than the second-place finisher. The mark inserted her second all-time in Bucknell history for the event. Bridget Lalonde notched fourth with a time of 55.91.
The foursome of Katherine Loew, Jessie Castellano, Meghan Quinn, and Bridget Lalonde not only won the 4x400-meter relay, but their time of 3:41.21 demolished both the meet's competition by over nine seconds and set the Bison school record for the event by a full second. The quartet previously established the reigning standard earlier in the season.
The quartet of Bridget Lalonde, Meghan Quinn, Lila Gaughan, and Karen Hull finished third and set a Bucknell school record in the 4x100-meter relay by racing for a time of 46.38. The mark beat the group's previous best time of 47.14 by nearly a full second. The previous Bucknell record of 46.68 was set back in 2013.
