St. Bonaventure

The GoBonnies.com CPL Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending April 10, 2022 is men’s track freshman Zach Buckner.
 
Buckner ran a time of 1:59.61 in the 800 meters to write his name into the Bonnies record books yet again as the first athlete in program history to break the 2-minute mark in the event.
 
This time qualifies him for Atlantic 10 Championships.
 
The Fairview, Pa. native continues his success as a first-year collegiate runner as he now owns four Bonnies track records – two outdoor (800, 5000) and two indoor (800, 5000) and also stands third in the indoor 3000. Also, Buckner was a part of the 4000-meter distance medley relay record-setting team at Atlantic 10 Indoor Championships in February.
 
His time in the 800-meters earned him fifth overall out of 25 competitors.
