Justyn Knight, Anna Shields, & The Top Bison Outdoor Classic Races
The Bison Classic boasted a pretty collection of performances, including a sizzling Justyn Knight kick and a fist-pump finish from a DII star.
Over the weekend in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, we say Justyn Knight kick some butt, school records, and an all-time mark in the 10K. Here's a quick rundown of some of the most exciting races from the 2018 Bison Outdoor Classic.

Justyn Knight Splits 55.2 On Final Lap Of 1500m
We know, of course, that Syracuse distance phenom Justyn Knight is a force on the track. For most of this 1500m, though, Knight was happy to hang around fourth or fifth place — that is, until the last lap, when he turned on the jets and left everyone else comfortably behind.
Christine Bedzinski Breaks Bucknell School Record
Buoyed by a hometown crowd, Christine Bedzinski needed a huge kick in the last 100m to beat Anna Shields of Point Park University. En route to the win, Bedzinski set not just a school record but a facility record as well.
Anna Shields Runs 2:07 & Breaks Point Park School Record
Anna Shields may have lost in the last 100m in the women's 1500m, but she did earn a victory when she absolutely demolished the field in the 800m, breaking the Point Park record.
Grant O'Connor Runs The 8th-Fastest 10K In DIII History
Grant O'Connor of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute etched his name into the DII record books, set a PB, and at the 24:17 mark in the video finger-wagged at somebody—and although we don't know why he did it, we think it's awesome. O'Connor fist-pumped through the finish line just for good measure.
