The Mountain Hawks have run in two outdoor meets so far this season, with their meet at Navy being the only team scored one. In that meet, the Lehigh men took third place behind a strong performance from Khalil Uqdah, who finished first in the pole vault. The women came in second place, with Latasha Watson picking up a first place finish in the 400 meter run, and a second place finish in the long jump.

“We’re going to put everything we have out on the track on Saturday,” said head coach Matt Utesch. “We’re a little thin right now because we have some athletes hurt, but I still think we have a very good chance to beat them.”
Earlier this year in the indoor dual meet, the Mountain Hawks were swept by the Leopards for the first time since 2002, and Utesch knows his team is using that as a motivational factor heading into Saturday’s dual.
“Our kids have been thinking about this day since February. They are excited to get out on the track and show them what we are capable of. As always it is going to be a very exciting meet.”
Saturday’s meet is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. from Timothy Breidegam Track & Rocco Calvo Field on the campus of Moravian.
