Three Bucknell athletes received Second Team All-Patriot League honors: Abby Eisold (heptathlon), Justley Sharp (shot put), and Quinn (100-meter dash).
Bliss earned Women's Rookie of the Meet for winning gold in the javelin throw on the first day of competition. She became the first Bison to win the award since Efe Agege in 2015.
Meghan Quinn wrapped up her Bucknell career with two medals. The Warwick Winmaker equaled her indoor championships accomplishment by winning the 200-meter dash. Despite rainy weather, Quinn blitzed to 23.84, winning ten points. In the 100-meter dash, she overcame a slow start to win silver and eight points via a time of 11.72.
Karen Hull capped her prestigious high jump career by winning the event. The senior leaped 5-9 ¼ to tie her school record. Hull also won the high jump at the Patriot League Indoor Championships. Her gold medal brought home ten points for Bucknell. Fellow senior Abby Kates's 5-7 mark finished fourth and gave Bucknell five points. Sophomore Madeline Lehker scored two points by finishing seventh (5-5).
Justley Sharp added silver in the shot put to her list of accomplishments in her freshman year. The rookie's mark of 50-0 tallied eight points for the Bison. Senior Siobhan O'Sullivan threw a career-best 46-9 to place seventh and score a point. O'Sullivan moved to fifth all-time in Bucknell history. Christine Ajao just missed scoring by finishing ninth but her throw of 46-8 ¼ ranks sixth all-time for the Orange & Blue.
Bucknell history was made in the heptathlon. Senior Abby Eisold won silver with a school-record 4,943 points. She set personal bests in four of the seven events. She led by 120 points entering the final event but was edged by 24 points by Sarah Taylor (Navy), the defending champion. Eisold broke the 41-year-old record of Hall-of-Famer Lonnie Fertik, who had 4,816 points. Eisold won Bison of the Week for her efforts.
Three Bison (Eisold, Abby Kates, and Quinn) earned spots on the Patriot League Women's Track & Field All-Academic Team.
