EASTON, Pa. - The men's and women's track and field teams took on archrival Lehigh on Saturday for the Lafayette-Lehigh dual. The Leopard men were victorious in the annual meet, outscoring Lehigh 93 - 88, while the women fell, 100-81.

On the men's side, senior Kyle Clayton had another spectacular day, winning three individual events in addition to running a leg on the winning 4 x 400m relay. Clayton won the 60m dash (6.87), the 200m dash (22.40) and the long jump (24' 4 ½").

He set a new all-time best in the long jump by over one foot and qualified for the IC4A Championships. His jump is now second all-time in school history.

Senior Sifiso Takirambudde won his specialty, 60m hurdles, running the fastest time in school history and qualifying for the IC4A Championships. Takirambudde's time is statistically faster than Kris Carey's 55m hurdle record.

The Leopard men won four other events on the day: sophomore Nick DeRosa (400m dash, 50.71), senior Sean Casey (500m dash, 1:07.06), sophomore Chris Pregler (800m run, 1:58.90) and junior Ryan Stasiowski (mile run, 4:25.61).

The 4 x 400m of Adam Ballester, Bradley Williams, DeRosa and Clayton earned a hard-fought victory, clocking in at 3:29.59. Two other Leopards earned a trip to the IC4A Championships. Williams jumped 47' 1" in the triple jump while freshman Nick Orzol ran 8.24 in the 60m hurdles.

On the women's side, there were a number of bright spots for the Leopards. Junior Kerriann Borke won two events. She won the 60m hurdles in a personal best of 9.26 and jumped 36' 7 ½" in the triple jump.

Other winners for the Leopards included junior Kelly Clyde in the 200m (26.50), junior Margaret Bruno-Metzger in the mile run (5:16.98) and senior Liz Graybill in the shot put (34' 6 ¾").

Both relays also earned victories. The 4 x 400m relay team of Clyde, Allison Hawkey, Adedayo Adu, and Megan Matusky ran 4:14.23 for the win. The 4 x 800m of Jennifer St. Onge, Julissa Muschlitz, Stephanie Westerman and Erin Mee ran 10:26.12.
