Men’s Crew hosts Penn State to Open Fall Racing Season

Bucknell Men’s Crew opened their fall season with a home race against Penn State on the Susquehanna River. Originally, the Bison (both Men and Women) were to open the season by hosting Army and Drexel during the 35th Anniversary weekend but the Susquehanna River levels were on the rise and were creating unsafe racing conditions, leading to the race being canceled. Penn State arrived at the Bucknell Boathouse to ideal weather and water conditions, for a 5k race with a tail current.

The Bison fielded two Men’s Varsity 8s, two Men’s Novice 8s and Men’s Varsity 4 while Penn State fielded one Men’s Varsity 8, Men’s Varsity 4, Men’s Novice 8 and a Women’s Novice 8. All boats started the head race one by one, upriver of the boathouse in the West Branch of the Susquehanna. Bucknell had a strong showing with the 1V setting the winning time at 15:06.3 who will spend a week training before heading to the 54th Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, MA to race in the Men’s Collegiate 8+, Event 56 at 1412, Bow #22.
