BETHLEHEM, Pa. — The Lehigh men's track and field team will travel to two meets this weekend as the team begins its outdoor season. The Mountain Hawks are competing in the Winthrop/Adidas Invitational Meet in Rock Hill, South Carolina, as well as in the Penn Challenge at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
The Mountain Hawks are coming off a fifth place finish at last year's Patriot League Championship meet, including a Patriot League Championship title earned by junior Kip Yegon. Yegon finished first in the 3000m steeplechase, finishing in 9:06.58.
Senior Emre Soybas finished eighth in last year's championship meet in the 400m dash, finishing with a time of 49.26. Soybas will compete in the 400m this weekend, as well as in the 200m and on both the 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams.
Senior Ryan Givens will compete in the high jump on Saturday after tying for fifth place at last year's outdoor Patriot League Championships and finishing second during the recent indoor season at the championship meet.
Also during the indoor season, junior Kyle Sult finished third in the heptathlon at the Patriot League Championships, earning 4889 points. Sult will compete in the discus and javelin throw this upcoming weekend to open his outdoor season.
Both field and running events are set to begin on Friday, with the first event for the Mountain Hawks being the men's shot put at 2 p.m. The hammer throw and long jump are also scheduled for Friday afternoon, with field action resuming Saturday morning with the triple jump, javelin, discus, pole vault and high jump.
