BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh track programs will be hosting their fourth and final home meet of the season Saturday at the 24th Annual John Covert Classic. The event, named for the longtime Lehigh track and cross country coach, will feature Lafayette, Villanova, La Salle, East Stroudsburg, Moravian and Muhlenberg among others. Seven Mountain Hawks will also compete at the Thundering Herd Invitational at Marshall University this weekend.
Both teams are coming off a string of strong performances recently, including Monday's Lehigh-Lafayette dual meet. The men captured a 104-77 win, picking up the maximum number of points possible in seven different events. Junior Ryan Cooneycaptured a new personal best time to win the mile run, which helped him earn the honor of Lehigh's Track Athlete of the Meet. JuniorLucas Warningwas named the Field Athlete of the Meet after winning the shot put at 17.37 meters, a distance just short of his own school record that he set at the Angry Birds Invite on January 16. Daniel Boardman also took first place in the long jump and high jump, setting new season-highs in both events.
Last season, Lehigh had an impressive showing at the Covert Classic, recording four first place finishes, while also hauling in a pair of IC4A qualifying times at the Armory Invitational on the same day. Trevor Knowles set a new Rauch Fieldhouse record in the pole vault (4.65m), and Fritz Isaac and Daniel Reichenbach finished second and third in the triple jump.
