Bucknell Bison: Men's results, Saturday afternoon/evening

It was a long, strange day and evening at Christy Mathewson Memorial Stadium, perhaps our favorite outdoor track venue of them all. The afternoon portion of the meet -- the unseeded 1,500s, the steeplechase races -- were held in roiling heat, real feel temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. Even for me, a heat connoisseur, this was a bit much this early in the spring. Then, late in the afternoon, the clouds rolled in and the temperature dropped quickly, setting up decent to good conditions for the later distance races. We had a mixed bag of results for the men, highlighted by three strong debut races at 10km by Hogue, Graham and Draney in the unseeded, and an IC4A qualifying mark by Dietrich in the late night section. The weather tomorrow is shaping up to be chilly and rainy. Be patient for Sunday results updates, as I will be driving a van back to Marist after the meet rather than riding on the bus.
