Donner's Debriefing

"This is our last regular season meet before the indoor championships. We have plenty of different missions on Friday. For some, it is a true tuneup meet before they get ready for leagues. Others are trying to prove themselves to try and make our 32-person roster and others will be resting and not competing and, of course, there are others competing indoors for the last time this year and want to gain some momentum heading into the outdoor campaign."

Last Time Out (Darius Dixon Memorial)

Ethan Knight's 8.37 time in the 60-meter hurdles preliminaries placed him 21th at the competition but ranks ninth in Bucknell history.
The pole vault has seen Gabriel Pecaitis's rise into a potent force. At last week's Penn Classic, his mark of 15-11.75 slotted sixth in Bucknell history. The vaulter clinched second place in the open competition with a clearance of 15-3.
Ethan Pratt-Perez finished third in the Open 3000-meter run with a time of 8:25.34. He was only eight seconds away from second place.
The quartet of Colby Belczyk, Brandon Foust, Zachary Jelinek, and Pratt-Perez placed third in the 4000-meter distance medley relay. The grouping raced for a time of 10:12.02.
