Baker was also among four Mountain Hawks to compete in the discus, where sophomore Amanda Youngblood led the way for Lehigh in fifth place (39.70m). Baker followed in sixth while sophomore Paige Grossman took seventh and Bubak finished in eighth.
Bubak led the way in the hammer throw, winning the event with a toss that traveled 46.91 meters. Grossman also cracked the top three, setting a new personal best with her hammer throw of 43.23 to finish in third place.
