PISCATAWAY, N.J./LEWISBURG, Pa. - Lehigh women's track and field split their team between two competitions this weekend. The majority of the distance team made the trip to Bucknell University for the Bison Outdoor Classic, while the remaining athletes traveled to New Jersey for Rutgers Relays.

Grace Aggen came away with two top five finishes. She won the discus throw with her best toss of the season, landing at 45.97 meters. The senior placed fourth in the shot put, throwing the weight 14.05 meters.

Laura Reigle won the pole vault, jumping 3.88 meters. Seniors Lena Perlmutter and Sarah Goode placed within the top six, landing in fifth and sixth, respectively. Both women cleared the 3.23-meter bar, but Perlmutter did so in fewer attempts to give her the higher placement.

Gianna Mangili was Lehigh's fastest 100 meter runner at Rutgers, running 12.10 and finishing eighth. This was a personal record for the senior, which makes her the fourth fastest 100 meter runner in team history.

Three Mountain Hawks placed within the top 10 in the high jump. Gaea DePass led the way in eighth. She cleared the 1.60 meter bar, which equaled her outdoor best. Both Melanie LaCorte and Anna Troutman jumped 1.55 meters, which tied them for 10th.
