Bucknell Men's Aquatics Programs Team Up to Help Revitalize Nearby State Park
LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell
men’s water polo and men’s swimming & diving teams
routinely share Kinney Natatorium, but this past on September 1
they got to know each other outside of the pool. The two teams
combined efforts to revitalize the hiking trails at nearby R.B.
Winter State Park.
The coaching staffs and student-athletes, including all 18 members
of the water polo squad, dug up potholes and cleaned up hazards
along the trails with direction from park rangers. Equipped with
shovels, pick axes and wheelbarrows the two teams worked
side-by-side along a one-mile strip of the most popular hiking
trail in the park. One faction of the teams built a retaining wall
for an overpass near a creek.
The Bison teams plan to make the event an annual occurrence. The
women’s water polo and swimming & diving teams are
expected to team up on a community service project later this
academic year.
