LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Lehigh men's and women's track and field teams completed another meet on Sunday at Bucknell University. The Mountain Hawks competed against the Bison, Army West Point and Colgate. This was the fourth straight weekend in which the Mountain Hawks were repping the Brown and White in a live meet.

Starting with the women, first-year athlete Kerry Perna shined in the high jump by winning with a mark at 1.65m. In the 400mH, Kaja Skerlj edged out the field for the win with a time of 1:03.21.

The junior Friend was also victorious in the 800m with a time of 2:14.25. Junior Hetty McMillan placed third in the same event with a time of 2:17.49.
 
In the 1500m run, Lehigh placed the top two finishers in Jade Sessions (4:40.61) and Natalie Condon (4:41.42.). The Mountain Hawks also placed the top two finishers in the triple jump. Rachel Sequeira (11.40m) and Nina Cialone (11.37m) bested their opponents.
 
In the 400m dash, freshman Simone Davey put forth an impressive second-place finish with a time of 59.64. The sophomore Sequeira also placed second in the long jump with mark at 5.53m, while Avery Roze placed fourth in the same event with a mark at 5.14m. Ashley Struck finished third in the 200m with a time of 26.60. Sophomore Andrea Miller finished third in the steeplechase with a time of 11;34.47. In the javelin, Karina Roze (38.46m) and Briana Wanbuagh (36.98m) placed third and fourth.
 
Brittany Curtin's mark of 41.14 was good enough for third in the discus, while the junior Meyer finished right behind her in fourth with a mark of 40.74m. Teasha McKoy would then finish fourth in the shot put with a toss of 13.01m. Ashley Griesmeyer finished fourth in the 100mH with a time of 15.57.
 
On the men's side, freshman Conor Reilly continued his remarkable start of collegiate career with another victory.
