The GoBonnies.com Student-Athletes of the Week presented by CPL for the week of Oct. 2, 2023 are golf sophomore
Michael Bucko and women's cross country sophomore
Jenna Gregory.
Bucko was outstanding this week as he helped lead the Bonnies to a second-place finish at the Matthews Auto Invitational outside Binghamton.Â
The Johnson City, N.Y. native shot a career-best 5-under 67 in the final round under ideal early fall conditions Monday. He opened his home tournament with 1-under 71 on Sunday and his 6-under total of 138 put him in a tie for fifth overall, three shots off the winning total of 135 from Mount St. Mary's Devin Smith.
Bucko's effort also ties him for the fifth-lowest 36-hole score in Bonnies tournament history.Â
He was a big reason the Bonnies fired a 280 team score in Monday's final round, good for 8-under par as they raced up the leaderboard from seventh after round one to finish second, tied with Binghamton just two back of Villanova.Â
Gregory again led the Bonnies in last weekend's Paul Short Run.Â
She finished the 6K Brown Race in a time of 23:27.8 to lead the Bonnies pack in one of the largest and most prestigious events in the country. Gregory finished 111th out of 351 competitors in the race.
The Smethport, Pa. native entered the week as the reigning Atlantic 10 Performer of the Week as she won those honors for the first time in her career. She was also the A-10 Rookie of the Week twice last fall.Â
