Lehigh has several returning champions on the women's side. Junior Abby Klebe won the 800m indoor and outdoor titles last season and was the Mountain Hawks' lone gold-medalist at the indoor championships. Junior Laura Reigle will look to defend her outdoor title in the pole vault. Klebe and seniors Svea Wickelgren and Riley Morrell were all part of a championship-winning 4x800m relay team last season.
Â
On the men's side, Wil Jaques was runner-up in the javelin last season. Senior Skyler Mott (high jump) and junior Joe Nowakowski (shot put) posted podium finishes for the men's team during the indoor championships.
Â
Klebe owns the top 800m time in the Patriot League entering the championship and garnered a Patriot League Track Athlete of the Week award during the outdoor season. Junior Grace Kennedy enters the championships with the No. 2 time in the league in the 400m hurdles. Junior Grace Aggen is ranked second in the discus and third in the shot put. First-year multi athlete Anna Troutman owns the league's second-best high jump mark, while Reigle ranks third in the pole vault.
Â
Jaques, who has a Men's Field Athlete of the Week award to his credit, owns the top javelin mark in the Patriot League entering the championships. Senior Jonathan Bennett ranks third in the 110m hurdles and classmate Patrez Thomas has the No. 3 time in the 400m hurdles. Mott and first-year Jaden Ferguson share the No. 3 mark in the high jump.
