BETHLEHEM, Pa. – After competing at three separate meets this past weekend, the Lehigh track and field programs will both head to the annual Larry Ellis Invitational this Friday-Saturday. The meet is scheduled to get underway at 2 p.m. on Friday and resume at 11 a.m. on Saturday at Princeton's Weaver Track and Field Stadium.
Friday's events include the hammer throw, javelin, 800 meter Elite, 3,000m steeplechase, 1500m Elite, 5K, 10K and the men's pole vault. All remaining events will take place on Saturday, beginning with the men's shot put and women's discus at 11 a.m.
Live results will be available free of charge and the meet will be streamed live on FloTrack and the Ivy League Digital Network, both for a fee. A complete meet schedule, a list of entries and more information can be found by clicking here.
Lehigh's women earned five wins last weekend, including a new school record in the triple jump from Kiana Wright (11.69m). Her jump surpassed the previous school benchmark of 11.66m, set by Cecelia Hall in 1997. Senior Gabrielle Wardle won the heptathlon at the Princeton Invitational, before taking second place in the long jump and javelin the next day at the Moravian Greyhound Invite. Nia Baker captured the hammer throw in PR fashion (46.02m), and Courtney Avery won the high jump (1.77m) en route to earning Patriot League Field Athlete of the Week honors. Freshman Maura Henderson led the way in Sunday's Bison Outdoor Classic with a win in the unseeded 1500 meter run.
The men received contributions from both Moravian and Bucknell on Saturday and Sunday, led by Adeolu Adesida who cleared the high jump bar at 2.08 meters to win at Moravian. Daniel Boardman (6th/13.61m) and Michael Gooding (7th/13.32m) led the team in the triple jump. Freshman Emre Soybas led Lehigh in both the 200 (23rd/22.75) and 400 (16th/50.57) meter dashes, setting new PRs in both events. Christopher Mascetti led the way in seventh place out of 64 finishers in the 1500, with teammate Kyle Berman also finishing in the top 10 in ninth place. Junior Jack Curran and sophomore Joseph Inlis both turned in career-highs in the 5K at Moravian. Senior Sean Burke placed fifth out of 112 finishers in the unseeded 5K at Bucknell, and Alexander Fitzgerald and Ryan Cooney both hit IC4A qualifying marks in the 5K Invite.
After this weekend's meet, Lehigh enters the home stretch with its final weekend of action before the Patriot League Championships. The school will host the Lehigh Games on Friday-Saturday April 29-30 at the Goodman Campus Track, while several members of the team will also take part at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia.
