BETHLEHEM, Pa. – For the second time this year, seniors Kyle Burke and Hetty McMillan were named to the Academic All-Patriot League teams. The selections were voted on by the Patriot League’s sports information directors and were released Tuesday afternoon by the league office.

The senior won the 800m (1:52.59) at the Patriot League Championships and was a member of the first-place 4×800 relay team who broke a 45 year old school record at the IC4A Championship last weekend. Burke broke three school records during the outdoor season to finish his senior year with seven school records.
McMillan is a psychology major with a cumulative grade point average of 3.82. She has been named to the Dean’s List several times in her academic career at Lehigh and has excelled in the classroom and on the track.
