“The Ray Geesey Invitational was amazing [for me] personally,” Bucalo said. “It was my first time under 4 minutes 30 seconds in the mile. It was an extremely competitive race, and I am excited for more competition in the future.”

Bucalo believes that the track team did well during this invitational.
“The track team as a whole did pretty solid,” Bucalo said. “…the track relay teams performed great….and [I heard we had] some PR’s (personal records) from lots of people.”
