Bucknell Bison, Day 1: Palmer Weimann joins sub-15:00 5km list

Congrats to sophomore Palmer Weimann for becoming the 26th member of the sub-15:00 club for 5,000 meters. Much like at Colonial, Palmer did it in scintillating fashion, closing his last kilometer in an almost unfathomable 2:49 -- a pace he has never maintained in any part of a 3km race. Ever. How did he DO that? Very proud of Palmer and his 10-second PR and milestone achievement. Nicely done!
