BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh track and field program recorded four Mountain Hawks on the Academic All-Patriot League Teams, the league office announced Thursday afternoon. Christina Yakaboski, Laura Reigle and Ashley Struck represented the women's team while Patrez Thomas landed on the men's team.
Â
Yakaboski is a familiar face in academic honors, garnering her sixth career Academic All-Patriot League honor spanning across cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field. The senior is a dual major in economics and design. In the outdoor Patriot League Championships, the Calverton, N.Y. native placed seventh in the 5,000m with a time of 17:04.57.
Â
In last weekend's Patriot League Championships, Reigle claimed her second title in two years at Lehigh with a jump of 3.97m. The sophomore currently holds the school record in both the indoor (4.10m) and outdoor (4.04m) pole vault. A Design major, Reigle was named to the Indoor Academic All-Patriot League Team and landed on the Patriot League Honor Roll at the conclusion of her rookie season last year.
Â
Struck set the meet record and claimed the title in the 400m at the Patriot League Championships, clocking in at 54.08. In the 200m, Struck earned second with a school record of 24.04. The senior was part of a 4x400m relay that placed third, setting a new school record of 3:46.78. The Jefferson, N.J. native holds school records in the outdoor and indoor 200 and 400, along with the outdoor 4x100m and 4x400m.
Â
Thomas was the lone male honoree, earning Academic All-Patriot League honors in the indoor season and CSC Academic All-District nods following the 2023 outdoor season. At the Patriot League Championships, the Snellville, Ga. native logged a third place mark in the 400m hurdles with 52.82.Â

Freshmen or students in their first academic year at their school are not eligible for the honor.Â
