LEWISBURG, Pa.- The Bucknell Bison men's track & field team capped the Bison Outdoor Classic with a proficient Sunday session. The Bison recorded several top-ten finishes in the crowded field. The appearance of lightning curtailed the remainder of the competition, forcing the omission of several relays, the men's pole vault, and the 3000-meter run.
