Sarah Cassidy and Amanda Youngblood were the Mountain Hawks top two scorers in the shot put, where both also set new personal collegiate highs. Cassidy's mark of 12.16 meters was good enough for third place, and Youngblood (11.71) took sixth in the event that featured 19 participants.
Michaela Bubak was the highest-finishing Mountain Hawk in third place in the weight throw, where she set a new personal record with a mark of 15.89 meters. Youngblood was second on the team, setting a new personal record of her own with 14.92 meter toss.
In the high jump, Courtney Avery led the way for Lehigh in second place, jumping 1.70 meters. Le Jouan and Wardle placed fourth and fifth respectively, both jumping 1.65 meters, which was a new career high for Le Jouan. Olivia Reinold also scored for Lehigh by tying for eighth (1.60m).
Liyala Dickens won her heat en route to a third place overall finish in the 200 meter dash, crossing the finish line in 27.06, setting a new collegiate personal best. Natalie Jacobs was not far behind for Lehigh, coming in fifth overall with a time of 27.17. Dickens was also the Mountain Hawks highest finisher in the 60 meter dash, placing ninth with another PR time of 8.13 seconds.

Katie Hatler also took home a second place prize (8.93 seconds) in the 60 meter hurdles.
