Raiders Bring Home Two Golds from Bucknell
LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Colgate men's and women's track and field teams competed in the Bucknell Bison Outdoor Classic this past weekend, Apr. 12 - Apr. 14.
COACH FRANCE'S COMMENTS
"This weekend was a great indicator of the process being made across event groups. Outside of the numerous personal records set, a freshman record in the 100m hurdles went down by Kiran George, Clare Gillis just missed her school record in the 200m, Cole Blair is back doing Cole Blair things just missing the school record in the triple jump, Sara Tabibian is on the cusp of the school record in the 400m hurdles, Dakin Ebmeyer grabbed the first year record in the 800m, and I know there's a lot more to come. Very happy of where we are as a team at this stage of the season."
