BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's track and field team hosted the Lehigh Games on Saturday at the Goodman Campus Track, the final of over a dozen meets this outdoor season ahead of next weekend's Patriot League Championships. Lehigh was victorious in seven different events on Saturday, including two from sophomore Emre Soybas, and one each from freshman Victor Yegon, freshman Oluwajuwon Owolabi, sophomore Ryan Givens, senior Lucas Warning and the 4x400 meter relay team.
Soybas led the way in two sprint events, which included setting new personal records in the 200m dash in 22.16 seconds, and the 400m dash (48.33). James Clements also landed on the podium in third place (PR-49.43) of the 400m, and Christopher Del Rossi finished third in the 200m (22.45) and fifth in the 400m (49.78).
Jake Sabatini led Lehigh in the 100m dash in ninth place (11.36). Matt Kravitz and Joe Espinal both had podium performances in the 800m dash with Kravitz taking runner-up in 1:53.96, followed by Espinal in third at 1:54.83.
In the 1500m run, Lehigh landed eight runners in the top 20, with the top four setting new PRs. Kyle Berman led the team with a runner-up (3:56.17) finish in the field of 69 finishers. Patrick Reilly cracked the top 10 in sixth (4:00.48) and Evan Hardy finished 11th (4:04.93). Alexander Fitzgerald followed in 13th (4:05.86), with Henry Paul (4:06.54), Christopher Mascetti (4:06.72), Sean Burke (4:07.07) and David Mugavero (4:07.81) finishing 14th through 17th, respectively.
Yegon notched the first win of his career in the 3,000m steeplechase, breaking the tape in 9:30.29 to best his previous PR by nearly 19 seconds.
In the 110m hurdles, Fritz Isaac PR-ed in third place, crossing the finish line in exactly 15.00 seconds, and Kyle Sult finished fifth overall (16.11). Tom Troxell ran 57.87 in the 400m hurdles, landing him in second place.
In the triple jump, Owolabi turned in a huge PR by over 50 centimeters to win the event with his jump of 14.05m. Lehigh had a solid team showing in the event as Michael Gooding (13.31m) took third and Taj Blount-Oden (13.30m) rounded out the top four. Over in the long jump, Ryan Givens finished third (6.82m), followed by Daniel Reichenbach in fourth (6.77m) and a PR of 6.76m for Owolabi in fifth. In the pole vault, Joey Kelly rounded out the top three at 4.25m. Givens represented Lehigh in the long jump and won the event, clearing at an even two meters. Warning also picked up his fourth victory of the outdoor season in the shot put after throwing 17.96m.
