About the Meet

This is the 34th Patriot League Swimming & Diving Championships (there was no meet in 2021 due to COVID-19) and the 11th hosted by Bucknell at Kinney Natatorium.
Navy's men have won the last 20 championships, while the Navy women have won the last 12 in a row.
Bucknell's women won four straight titles from 2003-06, coinciding with Kinney Natatorium's opening. The Bison men also won the 2003 title in the first meet contested in Kinney.
Last season, the Bucknell men finished fourth behind Navy, Army, and Loyola. Bucknell was just 55.5 points behind Loyola for third place and more than 400 points clear of fifth-place Boston University.
The Bison women also finished fourth last year behind Navy, Army, and Boston University. Bucknell edged out fifth-place Lehigh by just 12.5 points.
