Lafayette 7-Way Results | Raleigh Relays Results | Winthrop Invite Results
EASTON, Pa. – The Lehigh women's track and field team wrapped up a successful weekend at three separate meets that was highlighted by sophomore Courtney Avery's school-record tying high jump at the Winthrop Invitational. The Mountain Hawks also competed in the Raleigh Relays and Lafayette 7-Way during the busy weekend and earned the team title at the Lafayette 7-Way with 232 team points.
"I think we were really successful in three different places and we have a good feel for what we need to do going into next week's Lehigh-Lafayette dual meet," said head coach Matt Utesch. "Our kids are being tough in the cold weather and it's a hard time to be competing since spring just won't show up. I'm happy with their demeanor, seriousness and commitment to getting good results."
Sophomore Courtney Avery tied her own school record in the high jump Friday at the Winthrop Invitational with a 1.76 meter leap. The ECAC-qualifying mark earned her first place and was .11 meters higher than the second-place finisher. The jump also set a new facility record.
Senior Natalie Bates finished third in the heptathlon at the Winthrop Invitational with 4,313 points, while junior Gabrielle Wardle came in fourth with 4,293 points. Sophomore Sarah Cassidy finished tenth in the event (3,910).
Senior Shannon Wright represented Lehigh in the 5,000 meter run at the Raleigh Relays Friday and finished in a time of 17:48.96.
At the Lafayette 7-Way Sunday, Lehigh took places one through five in the 400 meter dash as freshman Hanna Brosky led the way with a time of 1:00.17. Freshman Laura Barnes earned first place in the 800 meter run with a clip of 2:21.87, while senior Victoria Mullane picked up first place in the 1,5000 meter run (4:42.25). Sophomore Katie Hatler ran the 100 meter hurdles in 14.81 to finish atop the podium, while freshman Samantha Lerner took home the 3,000 meter steeplechase title with a clip of 12:12.95.
The 4x400 meter relay team of Brosky, Halie Carter, Linday Voltz and Amanda Fischer claimed first after finishing with a time of 4:11.04.
In the field events at the Lafayette 7-Way, senior Jonelle Jerwick grabbed first in the pole vault with a mark of 3.35 meters, while sophomore Kiana Wright took the top spot in the long jump with a leap of 5.15 meters. Sophomore Micahela Bubak threw the hammer 40.71 meters and earned first place, while classmate Melody Walthers earned the javelin title with a heave of 35.91 meters.
Next up, Lehigh heads to Lafayette next Saturday for the annual outdoor dual meet.
