BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Sophomores Abby Klebe and Laura Reigle set school records in the 1000m and pole vault, respectively, as Lehigh wrapped up 2023 competition with Fast Times Before Finals, Friday-Saturday at Rauch Fieldhouse.
"It's important in track to have the emotional wave that others can ride, so watching Abby or Laura break records can motivate teammates," said head coach Khayla Atte.
"I think the athletes continue to do a great job with making small adjustments over time and helping each other make those adjustments and hold them accountable to the standard."
JUMPS
On Friday night, Reigle improved upon the 4.05m school record she set last season, jumping 4.10m which was good for second place.
In the long jump, junior Casey Talamini-Keleman placed fourth with a PR of 5.39m. Junior Lauren Roy also earned a PR, placing eighth with 5.31m.
Lehigh landed four in the top eight in the triple jump with Talamini-Keleman earning second place with 11.79m. Roy took eighth place and set a new PR of 10.75m.
After setting a PR in the high jump last weekend, sophomore Melanie LaCorte set a new one and took second place with a jump of 1.63m.
MID-DISTANCE
Klebe broke the school record in the 1000m with 2:51:00, claiming first place. Junior Riley Morrell took second place with 3:03:78.
Lehigh took the top five slots in the 4x800 with the B squad of Elizabeth Jenulis, Lauryn Heskin, Savanah Beavers and Devon Sutton taking first with 9:35:00.

In the 60m, sophomore Gianna Mangili took third with 7.82. Sophomore Grace Kennedy ran 26.05 to take third in the 200m.
