RESULTS

LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell rowing team this weekend returns to the prestigious Head of the Charles regatta in Boston for the first time since 2019. This will be the first official competition under first-year head coach Katy Ruderman, who joined the program in July after a three-year stint as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.

Ruderman takes over a squad that features 25 returning rowers, including a large class of 12 seniors. Seniors Morgan Brill and Bella Guzman, along with junior Kalena Gatesman and sophomore Callie VonderHaar, comprise the team's Leadership Council. Nine newcomers are also in the mix, including Caroline Cawley, who will row with the Varsity Eight in Boston on Saturday.

Bucknell's entry at the Head of the Charles will race in the Women's Club Eights category, which is slated to go off at 1:44 p.m. on Saturday. A total of 43 boats, featuring a mix of collegiate and club eights, will compete in that section, including Patriot League rivals Boston University, Colgate, Georgetown, Holy Cross, and MIT.

The Bison crew will be under the direction of senior coxswain Katie Lash and sophomore stroke Sadye Levensten, who was a First Team All-Patriot League honoree last season. Also competing for Bucknell will be Guzman (7), sophomore Evelyn Sherman (6), senior Logan Moore (5), Gatesman (4), Cawley (3), junior Clara Eikeboom (2), and senior Colby Bernhard (bow).

This is the first of two fall events for the Bison rowing team. They will also compete at the Princeton Chase on Lake Carnegie on Nov. 2.
