Gulycz impressed at the Bucknell Bison Outdoor Classic last week as he set a new conference-best in the throws. The freshman launched the shot put 16.67m to place seventh out of 38 athletes. His 16.67m mark is an outdoor season-best and is .24 meters better than his previous season-high. Gulycz has now earned both NEC Field Athlete of the Week and NEC Rookie of the Week honors in the same week for the second time in his career, having first accomplished the feat on February 11, 2025, during the indoor season.
