Knowles highlighted the event by tying for first in the 60 meter dash (7.31) and winning the final two events, the pole vault (4.74m) and the 1,000 meter run (2:53.06). Freshman Ryan Givens finished the heptathlon in fifth place overall, taking home the top spot in the high jump (1.89m).

Junior James Clements (1:08.94) led Lehigh in ninth place in the 500 meters, just ahead of teammates Clay Stabolepszy (8th/1:08.97) and Robert Smith (9th/1:09.07). Robert Iulo finished first in his heat on the way to a 14th place time of 1:09.47. Robert Hugin (16th/1:10.03) and Tom Troxell (17th/1:10.14) also added top-20 finishes for Lehigh in the event.
Sophomore James Chappell led the way for Lehigh in fifth place in the 1,000 meter run (2:36.24), four places ahead of Seamus Cullinane (9th/2:37.64).
In the relays, the Lehigh team of Christopher Del Rossi, James Clements, Hugin and Troxell finished in the upper half of the field in sixth place (3:31.94) in the 4x400 relay. The Mountain Hawks capped the relays by sweeping the top two spots in the 4x800, as the 'B' team of Alexander Fitzgerald, Patrick Reilly, Brian Arita and Scott Mason rallied for a 8:19.05 victory. The 'D' squad of Chappell, Christopher Mascetti, David Mugavero and Ryan Grace (8:20.82) took second place, just edging out a quartet of Lafayette runners.
In the field events, Daniel Boardman used a leap of 1.95 meters to take fourth place in the high jump, before leaping 6.73 meters for fifth place in the long jump. Michael Camera jumped 6.20 meters in the long jump for an 11th place finish, and added a sixth place tally of 13.31 meters in the triple jump. Tyler John (4th/4.35m) and Max Jordan (6th/4.20) both turned in strong performances in the pole vault.
Three Mountain Hawks added top-10 finishes in the shot put, led by sophomore Samuel Berkman in seventh place (13.91m). Alexander Rodgers followed closely behind in eighth place (13.73), and Gilligan Greenlow used a distance of 13.28 meters to place 10th. Berkman also placed 12th in the weight throw (13.67m).
"All fall long we've been doing our hardest workouts of the year," said senior Daniel Reichenbach. "Today, at an event where we get a whole month and a half off after, it's a perfect meet to leave everything you have out there. Not only are we competing with everyone around us, we're competing with each other to make us better so that we can strive to do our best when we move into Lehigh-Laf and the Patriot League Championships."
After a break for final exams and the holidays, Lehigh will return to action at the Villanova Open on January 8.
