BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh track and field teams completed their weekend events at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia and the Lehigh Games, which took place on the Goodman Campus.

Settle's distance was a personal best for her and a school record as well. Then on Friday at the Lehigh games, Settle re-broke her school record in the same event, beating it by almost a meter (55.13m). With her throw, Settle currently ranks 46th in the eastern region in the hammer throw.

Ataman also placed third in the hammer throw (49.61m). Alex Doersam had a good showing in the long jump, as she placed first in the event with a distance of 5.61 meters.
In women's track events at the Lehigh games, Kristin Slotnick took first place in the 100 meter dash with a time of 12.45 seconds.
