LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell head rowing coach Stephen Kish is pleased to introduce 10 recruits to the 2024-25 Bison squad. The class collectively brings a great deal of rowing experience to a team that returns a strong nucleus this season, including 17 of the team's 23 competitors from last spring's Patriot League Championships.
"This year we took some significant incremental steps up in terms of training volume and standards, and I know they will pay off as we marry our incredible group of sophomores, juniors, and seniors with one of the strongest incoming freshmen classes to date," said Kish, a 1992 Bucknell graduate who is entering his 29th year as the team's head coach this fall. "The 2024-25 team will play a big role in the next phase of culture and speed for the program as we look to build upon our previous championship success. We are very excited about the experience and the energy the incoming class will add to the program, and their enthusiasm for the Bucknell scholar-athlete model has been palpable throughout their recruiting process. We are eager to see them thrive in the classroom and on the water over the next four years."
Bucknell has finished in the top five in all 19 editions of the Patriot League Championships, including seven first-place finishes and five runner-up placements. The most recent second-place team trophy came in 2022, when all three boats medaled and the Varsity Eight ran away with a stunning victory to earn gold medals and PL Boat of the Year honors.
