Swift won the steeplechase by three seconds. He is one of four runners in program history to run sub-9:00 in the steeplechase and the first one since 2002 when Alex L’Heureux and Rob Black both ran sub-9:00. In addition to scoring points in the steeplechase, Swift also totaled points in the 5000 meter run with a fifth place finish.
Also meeting a qualifying standard for the Mountain Hawk men was freshman Franklin Johnson, who qualified for IC4As in the triple jump. The Arlington, Texas-native leapt a career-best 48’¾” and placed third.
Lehigh had two athletes finish second in their events as senior Greg Horn raced 52.98 in the 400 meter hurdles and freshman Nick Ray set a personal record in the shot put with a 54’6” throw. Senior David Falk competed in the finals of the 100 and 200 meter dashes and finished third and fifth, respectively. Falk ran 10.97 in the 100 and 22.08 in the 200.

Meanwhile, McLaughlin tied with Navy’s Katie Berkey for third in the high jump as both athletes cleared 5’3”.
Lehigh’s women’s team also had four fourth place finishes.
