LEWISBURG, Pa.- Grace Camerlingo made an instantaneous impact in her first collegiate meet at the Bison Opener with her showing in the 60-meter dash and the conference acknowledged her debut by christening the freshman with Patriot League Women's Rookie of the Week, as announced Tuesday by the league office.Â
Camerlingo sizzled in the 60-meter dash finals, recording a time of 7.62 to finish second in the event, and it required a personal record (7.59) by the winner from Penn State, to edge the Bison freshman. More impressively, Camerlingo improved upon her preliminary mark of 7.68, displaying veteran stamina.Â
"It was a great opener for Grace," said Bucknell sprints coach Richard Alexander. "She came to Bucknell without much track experience, so she is just scratching the surface of her potential."Â
Her 7.62 time slotted her third in the Bucknell record book between Orange & Blue legends Meghan Quinn and current Bison multi & jumps coach Kaitlin Salisbury.Â
Bucknell track & field returns to action next month at the Nittany Lion Challenge.Â
