Season Preview

Donner's Debriefing

"This is a great early season meet where we will get the opportunity to scout the Patriot League course that will be used in November. Most of the teams at this meet are Patriot League schools, so it will give us a good gauge on where we stand."

Overview

This course encompasses the same terrain that the 2024 Patriot League Championships will travel. Bucknell will receive a sneak peek before the crucial meet.
The Bison's full contingent should see action this Friday, including captains Margaret McLoughlin, Sarah Policano, and Lauren Trapani.
Bucknell finished second last weekend at the Father Bede Invitational, running mostly freshmen and sophomores.
Freshman Shaelyn McNally introduced herself to the collegiate cross country world by winning the event and setting a 4k course record at the B&D Acres.
Fellow freshman Kerry O'Day placed fourth and a third newcomer, Katie Moncavage, placed 12nd, giving the Bison three rookies in the top 15.

Up Next

Bucknell runs for three straight weeks when the Bison travel down to Route 45 Rival Penn State for the Spiked Shoe Invitational on Sept. 13.
