Donner's Debriefing

"The Colonial Relays has been a staple on the Bucknell schedule for many years and it is a great fit for our program. It is a scored meet and the fully dimensional programs such as ours can do very well. We won both the men's and women's meets last year and I like the two-day concept to get our athletes prepared to compete on back-to-back days. I also like the non-traditional relays such the 4x1500 and sprint medley relays. This meet really brings our team together."

Last Time Out (Lafayette Invitational)

The Bison won ten events at the Lafayette Invitational last Saturday and notched two new top-ten marks.
Freshman Noelani Sadler sparkled during the indoor season, and her success continued in the outdoor campaign. The rookie raced 14.15 in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing 0.01 seconds away from the school record set by Catherine Trentacoste in 2007.
Teammate Ella Derstine logged 1:07.05 in the 400-meter hurdles. Her time was nearly two seconds faster than the second-place competitor.
Madelyn Hudak, for the second consecutive week, recorded a personal record. The sophomore javelineer won the event, throwing 39.76m (130-5) as she continued her push for a spot on the league roster.
Senior Christine Ajao won the shot put, logging a 14.13m (46-4.25) throw. The mark ranks 99^th in the 2025 Division I standings. Ajao led the way in the discus, finishing second on her 42.60m (139-9) fling.
Cassidy Roop won the 3000-meter steeplechase by over five seconds, logging 12:18.09.
Bradley Weldon made it back-to-back weekends with a win by racing 4:54.20 in the 1500-meter run. She won the event by over two seconds.
Caryn Rippey continued her winning tradition with a decisive three-second victory in the 800-meter run. Rippey raced 2:20.05.
Tori Chace dominated the 5000-meter run, winning by nearly four minutes and being the only participant to break the 20-minute milestone (19:57.92).
Elizabeth Bryant won the pole vault, clearing the bar by 11-5.75.
The quartet of Abigail Michaelson, Madeline Sipe, Ryan Malone, and Alexandra Lea concluded the invitational by winning the 4x400-meter relay. The underclassmen grouping raced 3:59.55, improving their previous seasonal best by five seconds.
Freshman Madison Fowler set a new personal record in the hammer throw for the second straight competition. Her 52.14m (171-0) mark finished second and moved her into eighth in Bucknell history.
