Bucknell’s First Varsity Eight+ crew is making waves again in the Patriot League! For the second time this season, the Bison crew earned the prestigious Boat of the Week honor, announced recently by the League office. Their impressive performance came at the Cornell Double Duals on Cayuga Inlet, where they claimed victories in both sessions, showcasing consistent excellence over the challenging 2,000 meters.
While Bucknell took center stage for this week’s award, other Patriot League teams also shone brightly on the water. Colgate secured a championship title at the New York State Championships, Loyola Maryland claimed victory at the George Mason Invitational, MIT earned a runner-up finish in a tough meet, and Navy defeated Georgetown in a dominating race. All these achievements highlight the competitive spirit across the League this spring.
Their success is clearly contagious, and the upcoming Patriot League Women’s Rowing Championship on May 15 in New Jersey promises more thrilling racing. For those in our Saratoga County community, it’s a reminder of the incredible dedication and athletic prowess demonstrated by these student-athletes right now.
