WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – All season long, the Lehigh women's track and field team has constructed its schedule around the Patriot League Championships.

In a contest that featured over 20 schools, the Brown and White and the Monmouth Hawks went back-and-forth in the two days, trading win after win and top finish after top finish.
At the conclusion of the event, Lehigh notched five wins, while obtaining a handful amount of second and third place finishes.

Looking to sustain success heading into the PLC in two weeks, Otto smashed a jump of 1.65m to win.
