RESULTS
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Bucknell women's cross country team wrapped up its 2026 campaign with a ninth-place finish at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship on Friday at Lehigh's Goodman Campus Course. Senior Katrina Torelli led the Bison pack with a 43rd-place finish.
Bucknell accumulated 306 points, well ahead of 10th-place Delaware with 373. The Bison came into the meet ranked 10th in the region and eclipsed that with a balanced performance on Friday. After finishing third at the Patriot League Championship two weeks ago, Bucknell outraced league rivals Lehigh (418, 14th), Navy (464, 17th), American (684, 24th), and Loyola (859, 28th) in this meet.
Torelli, who was Bucknell's fourth runner at the Patriot League Championship, covered the 6,000-meter course 20:57.0. Just behind her were the team's two All-Patriot League honorees in juniors Kate Moncavage (48th, 20:59.7) and Kerry O'Day (56th, 21.07.3). Also scoring for the Bison were senior Bradley Weldon in 56th place (21:22.0) and sophomore Gentry Bowie in 86th (21.29.7).
Third-ranked West Virginia had the top four finishers and five in the top nine, and the Mountaineers ran away with the team title with 19 points. No. 24 Penn State nabbed the second NCAA automatic bid with 83 points, while No. 29 Princeton (105), Villanova (120), and Georgetown (165) rounded out the top five.
WVU's Joy Naukot was the individual champion with a time of 19:19.1. Teammates Mercy Kinyanjui, Sheila Chepkirui, and Alexis Lamb followed her across the finish line.
