2022: The Preseason: Bucknell Bison

I see 2-3 qualifiers for the Bison this season, with one that will contend for both an EIWA title and All American honors.  

133
Darren Miller
Junior
Record: 30-19
NCAA: 21'NQ
EIWA: 21'3rd 

With the Ivy League schools returning to competition this season, the competition will be a bit stiffer than it was last season, but Miller should still place within the top 5 at the EIWA tournament. He should have enough quality wins throughout the season to garner automatic allocation. 

157 
Jaden Fisher
Junior
Record: 26-24
EIWA: 21'6th

A match away from qualification last season, I can see Fisher performing well enough this year to be one of the top 33 by year's end.  Wins such as a 14-2 major decision over Parker Kropman of Drexel will be necessary to achieve that status. 

165
Zach Hartman
Senior
Record: 68-20
NCAA: 19'NQ, 20'NQ, 21'6th
EIWA: 19'2nd, 20'2nd, 21'1st
MIDLANDS: 19'3rd, 20'6th

Along with contending for his second All American honor, Hartman will battle Harvard's Philip Conigliaro for top honors in the EIWA.  Thus far he is 1-1 with the Crimson, dropping a 7-3 decision & winning an 8-6 sudden victory.

Hartman has most certainly been the highlight for the Bucknell program as of late.  His graduation will be felt.  If he can win a second EIWA title as well as a second All American honor, that will bode well for the program.
