The 2008 CUNYAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships took place Sunday from Icahn Stadium. After a long, intense day of competition, the Lehman College women’s outdoor track and field team captured the CUNYAC championship. However, the Lightning will share the title with the ladies from York College, as the two teams finished tied after the conclusion of Sunday’s events. Both teams went at it neck-and-neck before finishing the day knotted up. On the men’s side, the Lightning came one point short of capturing its first program title, as the Hunter College Hawks were able to come away with the championship. In all, both Lehman teams showed tremendous fight and never gave up on a beautiful Sunday.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the heart and determination showed out there today,” Head Coach Lesleigh Hogg said. “Both of these teams fought extremely hard for what they’ve been striving for all season long, and that is all you can ask for as a coach. This is a great group of student-athletes, on both sides, and I’m happy with what they’ve been able to accomplish this season.”
