BETHLEHEM, Pa. – With warmer weather just around the corner, the Lehigh men's and women's track and field programs will begin their outdoor track season this week with a trip to the Sunshine State. The Mountain Hawks are scheduled to take part in the Bulls Invitational at the University of South Florida March 17-18 in Tampa, before returning home on Saturday for the Philadelphia College Classic at Franklin Field.
At February's Patriot League Indoor Championships, Lehigh captured four league titles (three women, one men) and set five new school records. Seven Lehigh athletes were named First Team All-Patriot League including men's heptathlon champion Trevor Knowles, and women's 3000m champ Elizabeth Weiler, high jump winner Courtney Avery and the distance medley relay team members (Hannah Leskow, Rachel Okun, Tyler Scanlin and Marissa Karl). Lucas Warning, Michaela Bubak and Gabrielle Wardle all earned Second Team All-League honors for their runner-up performances at the meet. All will be returning for the outdoor season along with men's high jumper Adeolu Adesida, a former league champion and current school record holder, who competed this past indoor season as an open/unattached competitor.
This week's meets are two of 11 different events Lehigh is scheduled to participate in before the Patriot League Outdoor Championships on May 6-7 in Lewisburg, Pa. Lehigh will stay close to home for several meets beginning with the Lafayette 7-Way Invitational on March 25-26 in Easton, Pa. The Muhlenberg Invitational on April 2 will follow, before the team's annual dual meet at Lafayette on April 9.
The following weekend will be a busy weekend for Lehigh, as they will take part in three separate meets from Friday-Sunday, April 15-17. The trio of events include the Greyhound Invitational at Moravian College, the Bison Outdoor Classic at Bucknell and the Princeton Outdoor Invitational.
The Mountain Hawks will return to Princeton the following weekend for the Larry Ellis Invitational, while splitting up and competing at the UAlbany Spring Classic the same weekend on April 23. The programs will the host the Lehigh Games on the Godman Campus Track on April 29-30 in their final meet before the PLC.
