What it Means to be a Bison
What it means to
be a bison “... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.” — Christy Mathewson, in his book Won in the Ninth, written in 1910
Patriot League Academic Honor Roll members Kyle Anthony and Stephanie Evans
www.BucknellBison.com
The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University. Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, are but a part of a well-rounded college experience. At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime. 11

Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the playing fields.

•
With three more Patriot League championships in 2008-09, Bucknell has now earned 73 crowns in 19 years in the league. In addition, Bucknell has had 100 conference players of the year, 83 PL coaches of the year and a whopping 476 individual league champions from sports such as cross country, track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and golf.

With a four-class average of 89 percent, Bucknell trailed only Davidson (92 percent) among all Division I institutions reporting federal graduation rates (the Ivy League and military academies do not report federal graduation rates). Georgetown, Notre Dame and Holy Cross were also at 89 percent. Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate is identical to its overall student-body average of 89 percent.

Bucknell Bison Athletics
A National Model in Promoting the Scholar-Athlete Ideal Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national model when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place. FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy the full range of collegiate experiences available to students generally. SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena. ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. LAPTOP PROGRAM: The Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips. STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for promoting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. OTHER PROGRAMMING: The Department of Athletics, through the identification of outside speakers and periodic “Brown Bag Luncheons,” thrives to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience as well as to educate student-athletes on a variety of issues that may affect them throughout their collegiate career. Some recent topics of interest have been alcohol, nutrition, body image, hazing, sexuality, diversity, career development, study skills, religious life and gambling.

Bucknell Athletics Facilities Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium: The home of Bison track & field, football and lacrosse.
Bucknell Athletics Facilities THE KENNETH LANGONE ATHLETICS & RECREATION CENTER The Bucknell University Department of Athletics and Recreation prides itself on setting the standard of excellence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 15 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 19 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 117 Academic All-Americans in 38 years and 113 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 19 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model. The addition of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation venues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success. The facility enhances each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and greatly expands the scope of its growing intramural and recreational sports offerings. A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of campus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the student body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni. Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Natatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a new location for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a brand new display highlighting Bucknell’s all-time Academic All-Americans, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, modern offices for coaches and staff and increased locker room space for varsity and recreational athletes. The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell graduate who, along with his wife Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the university Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996. One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The construction surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which has been restored as a competition venue for the Bison wrestling and volleyball teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities. As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the standard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center becomes the centerpiece in an already impressive cache of athletics facilities that includes the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium and its newly installed FieldTurf and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club; Depew Field, the home of the Bison baseball team; the spacious West Fields for softball, Emmitt Field and Graham Field at Holmes Stadium, including the new Phase III portion of the West Fields project that includes covered grandstand seats, ticket and concession areas, team rooms, a training room and a press box area for soccer, field hockey and women’s lacrosse.

Coach Profiles Kevin Donner Head Coach Ninth Season University of Detroit ’84
13-time Patriot League Coach of the Year Kevin Donner
Thirteen-time Patriot League Coach of the Year Kevin Donner returns for his ninth season at the helm of the Bucknell men’s and women’s cross country and track and field program. During his successful tenure in Lewisburg, Donner has kept the Bison among the elite programs in the East. Donner led the Bucknell women to another Patriot League championship in outdoor track and field 2008-09 as well as a pair of second-place finishes at the cross country and indoor championships. That excellent showing came on the heels of back-to-back Patriot League “Triple Crowns” in 2005-06 and 2006-07, and titles in cross country and indoor track in 2007-08. Donner’s men’s team continued its recent resurgence in 2008-09, finishing second at the Patriot League Indoor Championships and Outdoor Championships, and fifth in cross country. Numerous athletes qualified for IC4A/ECAC berths, and six Bison qualified for the 2009 NCAA East Regional Championship in Greensboro, N.C., last May. Donner’s Gerhard Fieldhouse office is ringed with 17 Patriot League championship team trophies — four in women’s cross country, seven (in eight tries) in women’s indoor track and field and six in women’s outoor track and field. The list of individual accomplishments among Bucknell’s cross country and track and field athletes during Donner’s first eight years with the Orange and Blue is staggering. Including all three seasons of competition, his Bison women’s teams have crowned 87 Patriot League champions, 42 All-East performers and five NCAA qualifiers. On the men’s side, Bucknell

has claimed 39 conference champions, 30 All-East citations and three NCAA qualifiers under Donner. In his very first season at Bucknell in 2001, Donner helped Theresa Dennis and Greg Costello qualify for the NCAA Cross Country Championships, and two more Bison returned to the national meet in 2006 when Leanna Nastase and Matt Forys earned bids. The following spring, Forys went back to the NCAA Championships in outdoor track, where he qualified in the steeplechase. Record-setting pole vaulter Melanie Buczko made two NCAA appearances, first indoors in 2005 and then outdoors in 2006, and Maria Garcia made it to NCAAs in the hammer throw in 2006. Before arriving at Bucknell in 2001, Donner, a native of Detroit, Mich., and a 1984 graduate of the University of Detroit, successfully transformed the Saint Francis (Pa.) program into one of the elite squads in the Northeast Conference. It was a banner campaign in 2000-01 for the Red Flash men’s teams, as Saint Francis captured its second straight NEC cross country title, followed by indoor and outdoor track and field titles as well. The cross country unit placed third at the Mid-Atlantic Regional and vaulted to a Division I national ranking of 26th. Donner also guided the Red Flash women to an NEC cross country title in 1997 and the men’s and women’s cross country teams to All-Academic Team honors in five consecutive seasons. He was cited as the conference coach of the year in cross country and track and field seven times, and in 2000, he was honored as the top men’s cross country mentor in the Mid-Atlantic Region. All 81 men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field school records were shattered under Donner’s watch. Among the stellar individual achievements by his Red Flash studentathletes were a cross country All-American, 40 men’s and women’s NEC titles, 27 all-conference performers, nine U.S. Junior National qualifiers, two Canadian National qualifiers and six CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. One of his top distance athletes, Brian Sell, competed in the Olympic marathon in Beijing in 2008. Prior to his stint at Saint Francis, Donner served as assistant women’s cross country and track and field coach at Central Michigan University from 199395. There, Donner coached eight All-Mid-American Conference performers and one NCAA qualifier. Following his graduation from Detroit, Donner established a new varsity program at his alma mater, becoming the school’s first-ever women’s coach. He served a nine-year stint at Detroit, where he coached 20 All-Midwestern Collegiate Conference student-athletes and guided the women’s cross-country program to back-to-back MCC titles in 1986 and 1987. A member of the NCAA Division I Coaches Associations for cross country and track and field, Donner took over the reins of a Bucknell program that has listed among the elite in the East for the better part of two decades. Bucknell’s women’s cross country team has captured seven of the past 11 Patriot League titles, while the men’s team won three straight championships from 1990-92 and again from 1997-99. Similarly successful on the track, the Bison women have earned nine of the last 11 Patriot League outdoor titles and 10 of the last 12 indoor championships. All told, the Bucknell men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field squads have captured 27 Patriot League championships in 19 years. He currently resides in Lewisburg with his wife Amy, a statistics and mathematics instructor at Bucknell, and their three-year-old daughter, Jillianne.

Bucknell men’s cross country closed the 2008 season just shy of its goal of a top-10 team finish at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships, but a similar outcome in 2009 is unlikely. The Bison’s core unit of runners returns for the new season with better preparation and a strong class of newcomers, hoping to erase the memory of taking 11th at the regional meet. “We return a lot of valuable letterwinners from last year,” said head coach Kevin Donner, who is heading into his ninth season with the Bison. “I would say last year was a relatively average year. We weren’t happy with finishing fifth in the Patriot League. We were hoping for a top 10 at the NCAA Regional Championships, and we were 11th. That was probably our best race of the year, but we were hoping for a little more. This year our guys really prepared well over the summer and put in an awful lot of mileage. A number of our top guys are running close to 100 miles a week, so as far as offseason preparation, I’ve never had a team quite as prepared as this 2009 cross country team.” Three of the Bison’s Patriot League scorers will be back on the course this year in Andrew Huebner, Conor McNamara and Baron Willeford. Huebner, who placed second on the team and 17th overall at the championship meet, fell off a bit at the end of the 2008 season but bounced back in the spring to take the Patriot League steeplechase title and qualify for the NCAA regional meet in the event. Donner expects that later success to pay off for the senior co-captain this fall. “He was our MVP last year. He was our number-one guy for most of our meets,” said Donner. “He ran well at the (NCAA Regional track) meet finishing 10th overall, and I believe that’s going to carry over into this cross country season where he’s going to prove to be a very valuable Patriot League runner, as well as a runner who can contend for a MidAtlantic Regional spot.” McNamara crossed the line at the Patriot League Championships last year ahead of any other Bison, placing 15th overall. The finish should not have been a surprise, as the senior had kept himself in the mix throughout the season despite originally focusing on middle distance races on the track earlier in his career. Like McNamara, Willeford finished the season on a high note, placing among the team’s top three runners, not only at the Patriot League Championships, but the NCAA Regional meet as well. Bucknell will also rely on its other senior captain, Kevin McGoldrick, who has shown major improvement throughout his career and who is expected to score for the Bison on a consistent basis. Donner also sees sophomore David Brown and junior Josh Clark as providing quality races for Bucknell in 2009. Some of the newest runners to sport the Orange & Blue should contribute early, as freshmen such as D.J. Krystek, Matt Brooker and Robert Yamnicky bring four top-five finishes at their respective cross country and track state championships between them. “We did have a fantastic recruiting year on the men’s side, probably one of the best recruiting years we’ve ever had. A few of these guys could possibly contend for some varsity spots, which is tough on the men’s side because of the change in distance,” said Donner. “Just those four right there are pretty good.” Even with a solid base of veterans bolstered by an influx of youth, belief in their abilities will be an important ingredient to the Bison’s success. “The key will be our men simply believing in themselves as athletes and sticking together in races. When these races get tough at about the three- and four-mile mark, they have to trust their training, trust their preparation and be positive through that part to get through the races,” said Donner. Bucknell opens its schedule at the Colgate Invitational on Sept. 5, a preview of the Patriot League Championship course later in the season. In addition to their home invite, the Raiders will also host the league’s final race on Oct. 31 in Hamilton, N.Y. The remainder of the Bison’s calendar includes the annual Paul Short Memorial Invitational, hosted by Lehigh, on Oct. 2 and the Penn State National Invitational in University Park, Pa., on Oct. 16.

2009-10 Bucknell Cross Country/Track & Field
Cross Country Preview/Roster Women’s Cross Country Preview The Bison women’s cross country team excelled in 2008 with a very young roster. Bucknell finished second as a team at the Patriot League Championships, but the squad was not without its growing pains. Now with an added year of experience, the Bison are well on the road to recovery and bringing the Patriot League trophy back to Lewisburg. “Our women’s team is returning seven of our top nine runners. We had a very young team last year and many of them are back this year,” said coach Kevin Donner. “With such a young team last year came some overuse type injuries, and some of them have even carried over through parts of the summer. We’re really going to have to do a good job of balancing our workouts and our health so that by the end of the year we’re at our best.” Looking to be at her best at the end of the season in hopes of claiming an individual league title is sophomore Stephanie Fulmer. Fulmer was the runner-up at the championship meet as a freshman, finishing less than six seconds behind the lead runner. After earning a pair of league titles on the track last year and grabbing a handful of AllPatriot League honors, Fulmer is poised for the cross country win and an NCAA berth, according to Donner. Fulmer’s classmate, Caitlin Cavanaugh, and current juniors Sarah Moniz and Alexa Griffiths rounded out the Bison’s top four league finishers last season, and all will be returning as well. Moniz, who was voted a team co-captain along with senior Gabrielle Skovira, showed signs of a breakthrough following a strong outdoor track season. “She was a consistent varsity runner for us the last couple years and then this past spring really threw some nice times down in the 1500 and 5K,” said Donner. “I think she’s ready to really step it up big time in cross country.” Cavanaugh was the Bison’s second finisher and placed 12th overall at the league championships, being named Second Team All-Patriot League in the process. She struggled with injuries throughout the spring, but is back to training and eager to make a contribution once again. Griffiths finished her sophomore season a strong note. After scoring for Bucknell at the Patriot League meet, she was the team’s top finisher at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional. Like many of the Bison, the junior has put in the offseason work needed to contend for an All-Patriot League selection. In addition to being young, Bucknell is also deep on the line. Junior Alaina Chodoff has been consistently improving, according to Donner, and is expected to provide some important leadership to the team. Bucknell will also have sophomores Kelly Grosskurth, Samantha Bower and Alysha Hooper who posted strong freshman campaigns that should continue into 2009. The Bison will also have a handful of newcomers, some of whom have shown early promise. Among the freshmen who have stood out in the preseason are Leah Goeke and Kelsey Acre, an all-state athlete from Punxsutawney. If the Orange & Blue are going to reclaim their league title for the fourth time in five years, they are going to have to avoid the injury bug. Like any cross country team, staying healthy throughout the season and peaking at the right time are keys to success. “We have a lot of young talent coming through the pipeline. The key is how are these younger runners going to transition into the Division I training style and be able to balance the academics and the athletics at a high level? Last year we started off really, really fast, and as the year progressed, we kind of faded a little bit. We weren’t on top of our game by the time the Patriot League and the Mid-Atlantic Regional came around,” said Donner. “This year, we’re not quite as ready in August, but our goal is to balance this training so that in October and November, we’re running our best. Obviously, if we can be at full strength with our top runners on the line, we’re going to be a tough team to beat.” Bucknell will hope to be running its best by Oct. 31 when it travels to Hamilton, N.Y., for the Patriot League Championships and Nov. 14 for the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional in Princess Anne, Md. The league meet will be the second time this year the Bison travel to Colgate, as they open their 2009 schedule at the Raiders’ invitational on Sept. 5. Bucknell’s calendar also includes nearby races at the Paul Short Memorial Invitational, hosted by Lehigh, on Oct. 2 in Bethlehem, Pa., and the Penn State National Invitational on Oct. 16 in University Park, Pa.

Bucknell track and field continued its duel with Army last year, finishing second to the Black Knights in both Patriot League championships. The Bison, who have placed in the top three of both championship meets in each of the last three years, have a long-standing battle with the service academies. Bucknell hopes to come out on top this year. “The last few years, our men have been contending for Patriot League titles along with Army and Navy,” said head coach Kevin Donner. “We’ve proven we can beat both teams. We just haven’t proven we can beat them both on the same weekend. Last year we were second to Army. The year before, we were second to Navy. This year we’re looking to win our first championship.” The Bison will benefit from having a wealth of both depth and experience at every event in 2010. “We have a good full dimensional team that has the experience to win,” said Donner. “We’re really excited about our men’s team this year. We’ve got a lot of good people in every event across the board.” Sprints................................................................................................................................ Bucknell had some key sprinters hit by injury last year, but the squad looks to be back on its feet for the new season. The Bison will look to junior Marlon Woods in the 100 and 200. Woods just missed qualifying for the IC4A Championships in both events last year. Thomas McGarrigle scored in the 60 at the PL Indoor Championships and had a strong spring in the 100 as well. Sophomore John Quezada and incoming freshman Justin Hicks will also contribute in the short sprints. After being an IC4A qualifier as a freshman, junior Guy Castranova was injured most of last season. Donner looks to have him back and in top form in 2010 at the 200 and 400 distances. Also in the 400 are favorites Clement Gyan, Gregory Baxter and Gary Bush. Gyan scored in the event at the outdoor PL championships last year, while Baxter, a co-captain, scored at the indoor meet. Bush is returning from hip surgery, but is healthy again and ready for the new season. Hurdles............................................................................................................................... The 400m hurdles looks to be one the Bison’s strongest races with sophomores Rob Arent and Daniel Mularz and senior Sean Coyne leading the way. Arent and Coyne scored in the PL meet, while Mularz fell just short, crossing the line in seventh place. Senior Andrew Yehl was the PL champ in the 60m hurdles last year as well as the runner-up in the 110m high hurdles. The school record holder at 110m, Yehl should continue his solid performance as one of Bucknell’s best hurdlers in 2009-10. Mid-Distance..................................................................................................................... Bucknell returns every member of last year’s PL title-winning 4x800 relay in seniors Kevin McGoldrick and Kyle Ramer and juniors Chris Boyd and Clayton Smith, showing that the middle distances should be one of the Bison’s strongest areas. Smith and Ramer will also have the 1,000 shored up after qualifying for IC4As in the event a year ago. Boyd was a PL scorer in the 1,500. Conor McNamara has run every distance from the 1,000 indoors to the 5,000 outdoors during his career. The senior soldified the mile as one of his top events after scoring at the PL meet last year. At the shorter distances, the Bison have Jordan Donaldson in the 400 and 800, as well as John Picardo, an IC4A qualifier in the 500. The Bison also look to have freshmen Christian Brandstetter and Darren Harris for an early impact. Distance............................................................................................................................. Leading the way in the distance events is senior co-captain Andrew Huebner. Huebner won the PL title in the steeplechase, qualifying for the IC4As and NCAA Regionals in the process. Look for Huebner to make a run at the national championships in his final season in the Orange and Blue. Stephen Dorsey and Baron Willeford will man the 10,000 for Bucknell this year. Dorsey scored at the PL Championships and qualified for IC4As in the event last year. Jumps................................................................................................................................. The Bison have a crew of high-quality jumpers this year, particularly in the high jump. Drew Fitzgerald, Nicholas Hruch, and Andrew Powell took 1-2-3 at the indoor championship meet and qualified for the IC4As in the event. Fitzgerald, who was the Field Performer of the Meet at the PL indoor championships, also won the PL outdoor pole vault title after finishing the runner-up in the winter. Senior co-captain Kyle Anthony will retain his hold on the horizontal jumps after earning the PL triple jump title and taking third in the long jump both indoors and outdoors. Anthony also finished third in the triple jump at the IC4A Championships and 15th at the NCAA Regionals. Multi................................................................................................................................... Donner expects the multi events to be some of the strongest for the Bison as they return the top three athletes in the league in Ryan White, Thomas Vogler and Powell. White was the runner-up at the PL indoor meet last year, while Powell finished third and Vogler was fifth. White, Vogler and Powell then went 2-3-4, respectively, in the decathlon last spring. With the reigning champ graduated, the trio should have a clear shot to the top in 2010. The Bison also anticipate incoming freshman Jason Brown to develop into a top multi athlete. Throws............................................................................................................................... Bucknell’s throws squad should be extremely strong in 2010, backed by a pair of NCAA Regional qualifiers in the javelin in Steven Pierce and Ted Heitzman. Pierce has struggled with injuries, but Donner expects the senior to contend for a PL championship and an NCAA spot if he remains healthy. Heitzman’s outstanding freshman year provided key experience for another successful run this season. In the shot put, the Bison return Tim Medlock, who won the PL title in the shot put indoors and outdoors. A senior co-captain, Medlock also holds the school records in the event. Sophomore Tom Barr also returns in the shot after scoring at both PL meets and qualifying for the IC4As in the spring. The Bison also have Jonathan Lockhart back in the ring. They will benefit from Lockhart’s scoring history in a number of events, including the shot put, discus, and weight and hammer throws. Bucknell is also very excited about a recruiting class that features all-state performers in Quinten Marcott in the shot put and Leonard Joseph and Luke Webster in the discus.
2009-10 Bucknell Cross Country/Track & Field
Women’s Track & Field Preview/Roster Bucknell women’s track and field continued to be a dominant force in the Patriot League last year. Although the Bison had a seven-year winning streak broken by Navy at the indoor championships, they came roaring back in the spring to earn their ninth outdoor title in 11 years. A majority of the team’s scorers from the championship meets returns for the 2009-10 season, including 10 of 12 league champions, showing that Bucknell remains a force to be reckoned with. “What was nice was we won the outdoor meet pretty decisively, and we return most of the points from that meet,” said head coach Kevin Donner, who is heading into his ninth season at Bucknell. “We feel really good about our chances of going after a title. Navy is going to be a major obstacle. They’ve got an outstanding team. Of course, they beat us indoors and they beat us in cross country last year. We also see Army and Holy Cross as two teams that could possibly contend for championships.” Sprints................................................................................................................................ The sprints look to be one of the Bison’s most improved areas as they return seniors Stephanie Evans and Kristin Steele. The consistent Evans scored in four events at the PL outdoor meet, including the 100, 200 and 4x100, while Steele also scored in the 200 and 4x100. Lindsey Appel, Kalle James-Wintjen and Jennifer Pierce each earned PL golds last year in relays. James-Wintjen helped the outdoor 4x400 team to a title, Appel did the same in the indoor 4x400 and Pierce was a member of both teams. Christina Muccio also returns after a strong freshman year in which she scored in the PL indoor 60 and outdoor 100. Hurdles............................................................................................................................... Jamie Leacock will anchor the hurdles unit in the new season. After scoring in the 60 hurdles at the PL Indoor Championships with a career-best time, the junior really came on during the spring. Leacock finished with a PL title in the 400 hurdles and a Bucknell top-10 time in the 100 hurdles at the championship meet. The Bison will also have Pierce, a multidimensional athlete who took to the hurdles late in the season, and Taylor Funk, a former all-state high school athlete who is on the comeback from injuries, to provide a solid foundation in the event. Mid-Distance..................................................................................................................... Bucknell’s middle distance will be led by senior co-captain Allison Janda. Janda helped the indoor 4x800 relay to a second-place finish at the PL Championships and qualified for ECACs. Stephanie Fulmer and Amanda Steinke also have had league success, helping the outdoor 4x800 relay to a gold medal last year. Fulmer, the PL Female Rookie of the Meet indoors, has two more league titles to her name with the mile and 1,500. Incoming freshman Caroline Tolli is also expected to excel in the 800. Joining Fulmer in the longer distances is Sarah Moniz, who earned points for the Bison in the mile, 1,000 and 1,500 a year ago. Distance............................................................................................................................. Alaina Chodoff will look to rebound from missing the 2009 outdoor season with injury by being a force for the Bison in the 3,000 meters. The junior had a successful indoor season, scoring in the event at the PL Championships. Samatha Bower and Kelly Grosskurth look to have a strong hold on the steeplechase. Both runners set Bucknell top-10 times at the PL outdoor meet, with Bower finishing fourth and Grosskurth taking seventh in the championship race. Kara Weichler also gained some valuable experience in the steeplechase last season and should make a solid contribution in the event. The Bison will also have Alysha Hooper, who ran some strong times in the 1,500 and 5,000 as a freshman, and Alexa Griffiths in the 10,000 to round out the distance squad. Jumps................................................................................................................................. Bucknell has a wealth of talent in the jumps events, particularly with two Patriot League champions in Amy Mantush and Rebecca Frey. Mantush was named the PL Outdoor Field Athlete of the Meet after winning the high jump and triple jump. She also scored in the long jump at the meet and looks to continue her perennial success in the jumps. Emily Moles will back up Mantush in the high jump after placing fourth at the PL meet indoors and third outdoors. Frey won PL titles in the pole vault both indoors and outdoors during her sophomore campaign, a year after being a two-time runner-up. She also qualified for the NCAA Regionals where she cleared the third-best height in Bucknell history. Pierce, Casey Krause and Meghan Frate will also have a strong hold on the horizontal jumps for Bucknell. Pierce and Frate earned Second Team All-PL honors during the indoor season, Pierce in the long jump and Frate in the triple jump. Krause also scored in both events indoors. The Bison welcome long jumper Sasha Hornock, who is also expected to be an early contributor in the sprints; Olivia Massey, an all-state jumper from Connecticut; and triple jumper Alexandra Romanelli to the incoming freshman class. Multis................................................................................................................................. New to the heptathlon last year, Kristin Bretscher is expected to anchor the multi events for the Bison in 2009. The converted jumper ranks ninth all-time at Bucknell in the heptathlon after just one season. .Incoming freshmen Leah Bettner, a Lewisburg High product, and Molly Wilgucki also have the athletic potential to bolster Bucknell’s multis. Throws............................................................................................................................... Bucknell’s field events look to be as strong as ever, and throws is no different. The Bison return a pair of PL champions in Sarah Bella and Chelsey Musante. Bella raked in the honors as a freshman, winning the PL outdoor shot put and discus titles and being named the Rookie of the Meet. After only one season, Bella holds the Bucknell record in the outdoor shot. Musante earned her PL title in the weight throw. The senior co-captain then went on to become the first Bucknell female athlete to score in two individual events - weight throw and shot put - at the ECACs and earn All-East honors. Excelling in multiple throws events is Rebecca Misko. The sophomore competed in all four events at the PL outdoor meet, scoring in the shot put and discus. In javelin, Laura Rycek earned Second Team honors at the PL Championships for the second consecutive year.

Bucknell Department of Athletics Mission Statement The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University. The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, reflects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell. A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA. The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.

Men’s Cross Country Postseason Honors
Over the past 39 years, the Bison men’s cross country team has been Bucknell’s most successful program on the national level. The Bison won 18 straight conference titles between 1975-92, and have appeared as a team in the NCAA Championships in nine of the last 30 years. The Bison had one of the most impressive winning streaks in all of collegiate sports snapped in 1990, when Connecticut handed Bucknell a dual-meet defeat. That halted a string of 167 consecutive dual-meet victories spanning 16 seasons. Since that loss to the Huskies, the Bison have gone 93-4 in dual-meet competition.

Women’s Cross Country Postseason Honors
Over the past 33 years, the Bison women’s cross country team has been one of Bucknell’s most successful programs. Bucknell’s women dominated their time in the East Coast Conference, winning the conference title in each of the eight years they participated in the league. After adjusting to the higher level of competition within the Patriot League, the Bison have come nearly full circle, from fifth place in 1991 to league champion in seven of the past 11 seasons. The women made their first-ever team appearance in the NCAAs in 2000, finishing 24th in the nation.

The Plan for Bucknell/ The Patriot League The Plan For Bucknell Bucknell is a unique national university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other, where 3,400 full-time students are educated for a lifetime of critical thinking and strong leadership. For more than 160 years, the University has remained true to its fundamental purpose: to educate and prepare students for lives that make a difference and have a positive impact on the world. In keeping with that purpose, the University has developed The Plan for Bucknell, which includes its collective vision — “To provide students with the premier undergraduate experience in American higher education.” Students helped shape this vision because of their confidence in the University. The Plan comprises five strategies: Strengthen the Academic Core aims to ensure that a Bucknell education is challenging and engaging, with openness to new ideas and a culture of innovation;
Deepen the Residential Learning Experience will provide a residential learning and living experience that complements the academic program, integrates the athletics and recreation program and promotes personal growth and development and civic and ethical responsibility; Enhance Diversity is a commitment to diversity in all its forms within a civil and supportive environment of open exchange to prepare Bucknell graduates to live and work in a globally integrated and intercultural world; Build Bridges will bring the world to Bucknell — through visiting scholars and sports teams, international students and alumni, guest speakers, international focus semesters, and electronic communications — and bring Bucknell to the world through strategic partnerships and community engagement activities as well as opportunities for off-campus study and faculty research; Secure Our Financial Future will secure resources necessary to engage new opportunities, lessen dependence on tuition, and ensure our financial future. The Plan for Bucknell was unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees on April 29, 2006, having previously been approved by the students and faculty. We have begun implementing it and are determined to make it a reality over the next decade.
