BETHLEHEM, Pa. – In the second event of the season and final event of the fall semester, the Lehigh track and field teams had a solid showing Friday at the Fast Times Before Finals meet inside Rauch Fieldhouse. The meet was unscored, but the Mountain Hawks enjoyed a number of great performances including eight first-place finishes and a trio of repeat ECAC qualifiers.
"We had some solid performances and I think we did a good job of building on what we did last week at the Season Opener," said head coach Matt Utesch. "It was a stressful week for our student-athletes dealing with final projects and the last week of classes, but I'm pleased with the way they came out and performed."
