SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The Lehigh's men's and women's track and field teams had a total of seven athletes garner All-East honors on the weekend, as the Mountain Hawks concluded the three-day IC4A/ECAC Championships on Sunday. The All-East honors included Conor Reilly (pole vault), Madison Zaun (5K), Connor Melko (5K), Jeffrey Kirshenbaum (10K), Kerry Perna (high jump), Teasha McKoy (discus) and Ian Scott (high jump and triple jump).
The Brown and White had two athletes compete in the pole vault on the first day of competition on Friday. The freshman Reilly hit 4.78m on his second attempt and then cleared 4.88m on his first try to finish third. Louis Logsdail cleared the 4.18m mark on his second attempt to finish 19th.
On Saturday, the Mountain Haws recorded multiple impressive performances from their athletes. In the 5K, the sophomore Melko continued his remarkable campaign by claiming third-place with a time of 14:15.73. Melko's time was a new PR and now has him sixth all-time in school history. In the women's 5K, Zaun gained All-East honors by tallying a sixth-place spot with a time of 17:32.75. In the men's 10K, Patriot League's silver medalist Jeffrey Kirshenbaum recorded a PR and an eighth-place finish with a time of 30:14.54. Brad DeMassa finished 21st with a time of 31:23.36.
The sophomore Scott recorded two All-East honors in the high jump and the triple jump. In the high jump, the jumper finished sixth and recorded a new PR with a mark at 2.00m, while then finishing eighth in the triple jump with a mark of 14.43m. Sticking with high jump, Perna, the Patriot League's bronze medalist, took seventh with a jump clearing 1.61m. In the steeplechase, Nick Norton finished 17th with a time of 9:30.77. In the 100mH prelims, Chae Kim just missed the cut and finished 10th with a time of 14.89.
The junior McKoy earned All-East honors after a fifth-place finish in the discus with a throw of 45.00m and then finished 11th in the shot put at 12.99m. In the triple jump, Rachel Sequeira concluded the day with a 19th place finish with a jump scored at 10.99m.
For most, the IC4A/ECAC Championships will mark the end of the outdoor season, but several Lehigh athletes will wait to see the final qualifying lists for the first round of the NCAA Championships. The top 48 seeds in each event will advance to the East Region. NCAA qualifiers are expected to be announced early this week.
