BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Coming off of impressive performances at the Rutgers Open and Monmouth Invitational, the Mountain Hawks will conclude their regular season Friday at the Bucknell Tune-Up at Gerhard Fieldhouse. This will be Lehigh's final competition before the Patriot League Championships on Feb. 26-27 at Bucknell. 

Last time out, the women's track and field team finished the two-day meet with two school records and over 25 PRs. Leading the way for the Mountain Hawks was senior Teasha McKoy. McKoy broke the school record in both the weight throw (18.96m) and shot put (14.52m) at the Monmouth Invitational. On top of her school records, McKoy set a new facility record at OceanFirst Bank Center in West Long Branch, N.J. 

Along with two school records from McKoy, Lehigh added seven top 10 all-time additions. On the field side, junior Rachel Sequeira (11.54m) and sophomore Nina Cialone (11.52m) both moved up on the all-time list. The duo grabbed PRs in the triple jump on Saturday and became third and fourth all-time, respectively. 

Three Mountain Hawks reserved spots on the all-time list in the 800m. Seniors Jade Sessions, Julia Dorley and Hetty McMillan all earned PRs in the 800m at the Rutgers Open on Saturday. Sessions led the way with a fifth place finish and a time of 2:11.60. Dorley and McMillan followed suit, finishing sixth and eighth respectively. Sessions is now fourth all-time while Dorley and McMillan are now sixth and seventh all-time. 

Lehigh continued to find success on the track at the Rutgers Open. Senior Kara Bonner finished fifth in the 1000m, finishing with a time of 2:54.66. Bonner is now sixth all-time for the Mountain Hawks. Senior Jamie Zamrin also claimed a spot on Lehigh's all-time list. Zamrin finished the mile with a new PR of 4:59.42 and is now tied for tenth all-time.

Lehigh will compete against Bucknell, Bloomsburg, Mansfield, Lafayette, Shippensburg, and Carnegie Mellon on Friday. The Bucknell Tune Up will begin at 5 p.m. on Friday with the women's weight throw, men's long jump, men's pole vault and women's high jump.
