PHILADELPHIA – The Lehigh women's track and field team finished competition at the Philadelphia Classic hosted by Penn Saturday afternoon at Franklin Field with several impressive performances in the outdoor opener.
"We were solid on the track and I am pleased with the competitive fight we showed in our races," said head coach Matt Utesch. "We are in a very heavy training cycle and I fully expect the team to freshen up and be much faster as the season goes on."
Sophomore Courtney Avery earned a first-place finish in the high jump with a leap of 1.65 meters, while sophomore Kiana Wright secured third place in the long jump with a mark of 5.17 meters. Senior Jonelle Jerwick earned fourth in the pole vault with a mark of 3.35 meters. Freshman Paige Grossman threw the discus 35.10 meters to earn fourth place, while sophomore Michaela Bubak was right behind in fifth with a heave of 34.38 meters. Grossman was also Lehigh's highest finisher in the hammer throw with a heave of 36.74 meters that was good for sixth place. Senior Carly Deskins took fifth in the shot put with a mark of 11.35 meters.
Sophomore Natalie Jacobs claimed third in the 100 meter hurdles with a time of 16.21. Lehigh took places six through nine in the 400 meter hurdles, with sophomore Courtney Wu leading the way with a time of 1:09.37.
Senior Shannon Nelson finished third in the 1,500 meter run (4:55.58) while sophomore Ashley Strysko (4:59.16) took fifth. Sophomore Kaitlyn Ruffing was Lehigh's highest finisher in the 400 meter dash after crossing the line in 1:00.98 to claim sixth place. Freshman Laura Barnes earned sixth in the 800 meter dash with a time of 2:19.95. Graduate student Hannah Pierce was Lehigh's highest finisher in the 3,000 meter run after finishing with the time of 10:30.66.
Lehigh's 4x100 meter relay team finished in third place with a mark of 49.42, while the 4x400 meter relay squad finishing fourth in 4:03.35.
The Mountain Hawks will split their teams next weekend between the Winthrop Invitational, Raleigh Relays and Lafayette 7-Way.
