BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh track and field teams will host the 22nd Annual John Covert Classic Saturday inside Rauch Fieldhouse beginning at 10 a.m. The Mountain Hawks will welcome Moravian, Muhlenberg, Delaware, Shippensburg, Alvernia, West Chester, Kutztown, Messiah and Lafayette in Lehigh's final home meet of the indoor season.
Both Lehigh teams are coming off impressive wins over rival Lafayette last weekend, with the men coming out on top 111.50-69.50 and the women claiming their sixth straight win, 102-79.
The women won 12 of 17 events en route to the win, highlighted by three new school records. Senior Brooke Astor set two of the records and claimed three first-place finishes. Astor churned out new school records in the 60 meter dash (7.80) and 60 meter hurdles (8.58), while also finishing first in the long jump (5.58m).
Freshman Courtney Avery leapt 1.73 meters in the high jump to set a new school record and earn her second Patriot League Rookie of the Week honor. Senior Danielle Albergo also impressed, winning the 500 meter run with an ECAC qualifying mark of 1:16.04.
The Mountain Hawk men won 13 of the 17 events, while two Lehigh athletes qualified for the IC4A Championships in March. Senior Martin Otieno was the first qualifier, with his blistering mark of 6.97 seconds in the 60 meter dash. Otieno was also victorious in the 200 meter dash and finished just .20 seconds shy of another IC4A qualifying mark.
Junior Adeolu Adesida and senior Patrick Ciez each jumped an IC4A qualifying mark of 2.04m in the high mark, but Adesida did so in fewer turns to claim the victory while Ciez took second. Adesida had already qualified for IC4As in the season-opening meet.
Following Saturday's meet, the Mountain Hawks will have two more chances to tune-up before the indoor Patriot League Championships on Feb. 21-23. Lehigh will send runners to the Armory Collegiate Invitational next weekend and the Bucknell Tune-Up the following Saturday.
