BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Following her school record-breaking performance on Saturday, first-year Laura Reigle has been named Patriot League Rookie of the Week, announced by the league on Tuesday afternoon.
The Hilton, NY native had an impressive start to her career at Lehigh, finishing first in the pole vault with a new school record of 3.96m at Fast Times Before Finals last Saturday.
Reigle opened up Saturday by clearing a height of 3.35m on her first attempt as a Mountain Hawk. The first-year went on to clear three more heights before clearing 3.96m on her second attempt to win her first event and get her name in the record book during her first meet for Lehigh.
Sophomore Chelsi Chevannes received Patriot League Honorable Mention for her performances last weekend. Chevannes won the pentathlon with 3024 points. The sophomore finished first in the high jump with a new personal best of 1.55m and finished second in the 60m (9.86), 800m (2:43.96), shot put (9.58m) and long jump (5.07m).
The Lehigh women’s track and field team will take a month-long break before returning to action on Jan. 14. The Mountain Hawks will host Monmouth and Sacred Heart in their annual Angry Birds Invitational at Rauch Fieldhouse following winter break.
