LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell rowing team has three student-athletes set to compete in the USRowing Small Boat National Championships, presented by the McNabb Family. The action gets underway on Saturday on Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J.

Bison senior Kalena Gatesman and junior Sadye Levensten will compete in the Women's Pair, and sophomore Frances Butterfield will row in the Women's Single. They will race on a 2,000-meter course starting with Saturday-morning time trials that will seed boats into A, B, and C semifinals later in the day. Finals will be held on Sunday.
