Results | The Rivalry: Lehigh vs. Lafayette
EASTON, Pa. – The Lehigh men's track and field team had its three year win streak against Lafayette snapped Saturday afternoon at the Metzger Athletic Fields as the Leopards claimed a slim 102-101 victory over the Mountain Hawks.
"If you go to a gun fight, you can't leave the big guns in the holster," said head coach Matt Utesch. "We left them in the holster by not running athletes like Tyler Mueller, Ryan Mahalsky and Jimmy Miller. We thought we had enough to not run those guys and we didn't."
In the field events, senior Benjamin Beauchamp tossed the discus an IC4A qualifying and personal best 50.11m to win the event. Senior Patrick Ciez leaped 2.05m to win the high jump, while junior Adeolu Adesida finished second. Sophomore Beau Whitman pole vaulted 4.25m to win the event, while freshman Daniel Reichenbach jumped a personal best 14.21m to win the triple jump. Classmate Lucas Warning won the shot put with a new personal record heave of 15.46m. In the long jump, Lehigh took places two through four as freshman Daniel Boardman, junior Julian Copeland and Reichenbach all set new personal records.
"Our long and triple jump guys did a great job and they're all first-year jumpers for us, which is just phenomenal," said Utesch. "I was also impressed with Lucas Warning and we had a lot of guys step up in the field events."
Freshman Christopher Del Rossi impressed with a victory in the 400 meter dash after turning in a time of 51.20. Junior Christopher Watson ran 800 meters in 2:02.32 to claim the event victory. Senior Nicholas Molloy picked up a win in the 1500 meter run with a time of 4:09.80 and was followed closely by classmate Kenneth Wilkinson in second with a mark of 4:09.91. Senior Simon Voorhees placed first in the 5000 meter run with a clip of 15:41.72.
The 4x400 meter relay team of Watson, Del Rossi, senior Martin Otieno and junior Justin Mahoney took first with a mark of 3:28.91.
The Mountain Hawks will send athletes to Moravian's Coach Pollard Invitational and Bucknell's Bison Classic next Friday and Saturday.
