EASTON, Pa. – The Lehigh men's track and field team picked up 12 wins to combine for a 114-89 win over rival Lafayette on Saturday at the Metzgar Fields Athletic Complex in Easton. Senior Daniel Reichenbach picked up a new personal record and two wins on the afternoon, senior Lucas Warning set a PR in the discus and topped the 18-meter mark in the shot put, and junior Trevor Knowles set three PRs and had a trio of runner-up finishes while competing in five different events. For their performances, junior Joseph Inglis was named Lehigh's Track Athlete of the Meet after setting the tone early in the day and winning the 3,000m steeplechase, and Reichenbach was crowned the Field Athlete of the Meet. Lehigh has now won five of its last seven outdoor duals against the Leopards, and paired with the women's team victory helped Lehigh sweep Lafayette on the indoor and outdoor track for the first time since the 2011-12 season.
In the sprints, Michael Camera (11.02) took home second place in the 100m dash and Emre Soybas (22.08) scored team points in third place of the 200m dash. Freshman Joe Espinal (50.57) picked up his second 400m dash win of the outdoor season by crossing the line in 50.57. Junior Fritz Isaac set a new personal best with his victory in the 110m hurdles by pacing the field in 15.15 seconds, and Knowles PR-ed in the event for the second time this season with his runner-up finish of 15.29. Tom Troxell helped make it 2-for-2 for the Mountain Hawks in the hurdles with his 400H victory of 56.83.
Over in the 800m run, Ryan Paradise, David Fletcher and Clay Stabolepszy swept the podium for Lehigh, with Paradise breaking the tape in 2:00.72. The Mountain Hawks were equally as dominant in the 1500m and 5,000m as well, taking the top three places in both events. Freshman Matt Kravitz (4:06.36) led the way in the 1500m, followed by Ryan Cooney and Christopher Mascetti. Senior Kyle Leonard picked up his first individual win of the season in the 5K in 15:49.13, just edging out teammates Mitchell Daddario (15:49.39) and Jeffrey Kirshenbaum (15:49.48). Running in the 3,000 steeplechase, Inglis led the way to victory with his time of 9:51.63.
In the jumps, sophomore Ryan Givens took home top honors in the high jump by clearing the bar at 1.97 meters. Givens also finished runner-up in the long jump at 6.99m, placing behind Reichenbach who flew a new personal-best 7.26 meters to take home first place. Reichenbach earned his second win on the afternoon with his top mark in the triple jump of 14.30m. Knowles took runner-up in the pole vault (4.55m) and set a new PR by over four meters in the javelin (49.41m). Freshman Kyle Sult (52.98m) took top honors in the javelin.
Warning had a strong day by winning the shot put with a toss of exactly 18.00 meters, marking the fourth time in his career he has topped the 18-meter mark, and the first time he's done it on the outdoor circuit. Warning later finished runner-up in the discus with a new personal record distance of 49.64m, followed by Knowles in third place, who set a PR of his own at 39.03m.
A busy week awaits the Mountain Hawks as they will send athletes to three different meets including the Mt. Sac Relays in California, the (Bucknell) Bison Outdoor Classic and the (Moravian) Greyhound Invitational.
