The Bucknell men's and women's swimming & diving teams host Colgate on Saturday, Jan. 10, the Bison's first meet since the Bison Invitational on Nov. 22-23. The meet against the Raiders begins a busy stretch of competition in January for the Orange and Blue. Army and Lehigh will visit Kinney Natatorium on Jan. 17 and 24, respectfully, and Bucknell will travel to Columbia on Jan. 18. The Bison will close out the month with the Bison Invitational on Jan. 31.
The men's swimming & diving team has a 4-1 record in dual meets this season, while the women's squad is 5-1. Both the Bison men and women are 2-1 against league competition, posting wins over American and Lafayette, but falling to perennial power Navy.
