RESULTS
CHERRY HILL, N.J. – The Bucknell rowing team saw all three boats qualify for the Grand Finals, but the Bison came up a bit short of the medal stand and finished in fifth place out of nine teams at the 2024 Patriot League Championships, which were contested on Friday on Cooper River Lake.
Bucknell's highest finish came in the Varsity Four, where coxswain Katie Lash and crew cut 20 seconds off their preliminary time in the Grand Final.

Alina Kelly stroked the Bison 1V4+, and she was joined by Kona Glenn, Hayden Groves, and Victoria Miller-Tuchon.
Bucknell's Varsity Eight capped off the day with a fifth-place finish in a time of 7:03.921, which was nine seconds faster than their morning prelim run. Boston University (6:42.028), Navy, and MIT finished in the medal positions.
The Bison were sixth in the Second Varsity Eight Grand Final in a time of 7:32.628. Boston University, MIT, and Georgetown went 1-2-3 with Navy fourth.
Boston University swept all three races to finish with the maximum 54 points and claim its third Patriot League title.
